Abstract

Since 2018, the countries that comprise the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have attracted more than 10% of global direct investment flows. They have benefited enormously from the globalization of value chains as the global economy’s centre of gravity shifts towards the Asia-Pacific region. The United States continues to be the leading investor country in the region, accounting for 19% of the stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) in ASEAN countries, compared with just 3% for China (8% if Hong Kong is included). However, Chinese investment is ramping up: according to ASEAN balance of payments data, in 2021, China accounted for 8% of FDI flows (13% if Hong Kong is added), compared with 23% of total flows for the United States. Depuis 2018, les pays réunis au sein de l’Association des nations de l’Asie du Sud Est (ASEAN) recueillent plus de 10 % des flux d’investissements directs dans le monde. Cette région a en effet largement tiré parti de la mondialisation des chaînes de valeur concomitante au basculement du centre de gravité de l’économie mondiale vers l’Asie Pacifique. Les États-Unis demeurent le principal pays investisseur dans la zone avec 19 % de l’encours du stock d’investissements directs étrangers (IDE) en ASEAN, contre seulement 3 % pour la Chine (8 % avec Hong Kong). Cependant les investissements chinois accélèrent : en 2021, la Chine représentait 8 % des flux d’IDE (13 % avec Hong Kong), contre 23 % des flux totaux pour les États-Unis selon les données de balance des paiements de l’ASEAN.
