Grenada's fdi outflows was 0.88% in 2025, ranked 62nd globally. This represents a 399.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1977–2025.
Overview
Grenada's fdi outflows stood at 0.88% in 2025, a rise of +1.17% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.88% by 2025. Grenada ranked 62nd globally.
Grenada’s foreign‑direct investment (FDI) outflows have remained modest, registering a value of 0.88 in 2025, which places the country 62nd in the global ranking. The indicator has fluctuated over the 39‑year series, rising from a zero baseline in 1977 to an all‑time peak of 2.01 in 2019 before sliding to a trough of –2.17 in 2020, a reversal that coincided with the pandemic‑induced contraction in global capital flows. Compared with peers of similar rank, Grenada’s 2025 outflow is virtually identical to Guatemala’s 0.89 and Colombia’s 0.87, suggesting a comparable scale of outward investment among small developing economies. The post‑pandemic rebound to a positive figure indicates a tentative recovery, yet the magnitude remains limited. Continued improvement will likely depend on policy measures that enhance domestic investment opportunities and stabilize external financing conditions, which could shift Grenada’s trajectory toward higher, more sustained outflows.
