Saudi Arabia followed with $12.32 billion, representing 17.18% of the total.

Lebanon, Sudan, and Palestine also attracted foreign direct investments in varying amounts.
The data points to a positive trend in foreign direct investments within the Arab world, showcasing the attractiveness of these countries for global investors. While global investments dipped by 2% in 2023 to $1.3 trillion, the Arab region remained an appealing destination for foreign capital. This highlights the resilience and potential for economic growth in the Arab countries amid challenging global circumstances.
