France’s attractiveness at its highest in 2022

The “2022 Annual Report on Foreign Investment in France” published on May 11, 2023 by Business France features 1,725 foreign investment projects that have created or maintained 58,810 jobs nationwide. While the number of job-creating investment projects recorded increased by 7% compared with 2021, the increase in the number of jobs created or maintained is historic, up 31% compared with 2021.

These results strengthen France’s attractiveness as an investment location and prove that foreign investors still trust France. This is also evidenced by the “EY France Attractiveness Survey 2023”, also published on May 11, 2023. It mentions that nearly two-thirds of company directors have immediate investment projects in France in 2023; and that for the fourth consecutive year, France has come in first place for foreign investment projects in Europe.
