Xi’s battle to stop investors fleeing China may get easier

Washington | Amid global calls to diversify away from the dollar in recent years, the United States has captured nearly a third of all investment crossing borders since the outbreak of COVID-19 .

An analysis by the International Monetary Fund shows that the share of global flows has increased – not decreased – since a shortage of dollars in 2020 spooked global investors and the freezing of Russian assets in 2022 fueled questions about compliance of the free movement of capital. The average U.S. share before the pandemic was just 18 percent, according to the IMF.
