Froma very low €191 million and 0. 05 per-cent of the total FDI
Having started froma very low€191 million and 0. 05 per-
cent of the total FDI in Germany in 2004, China expanded
considerably in the decade that followed, investing
€1.568 billion in Germany in 2014 for a 0. 3 percent share
of the total FDI in Germany for that year.
An average
annual growth rate of about 30 percent has had its impact,
moving China from 31st in FDI volume in Germany for
2004 to 17th place in 2014. Proportionally, Chi –
nese investment is only a tiny fraction of Germany’ s total
FDI stock. By 2014, China was still far behind Germany’ s
most important investor countries such as Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
However, they have
been investing in Germany for decades. Japan remains the
only Asian country to crack the top ten countries of origin
of Germany’ s FDI stock.
