In a report on the results of the first nine months of 2019, the Central Bank said that there was a sharp increase in the volume of foreign direct investments, Spot writes.

In particular, the net inflow of foreign direct investment during the nine months of the current year amounted to $1.5 billion, which is three times more compared to the same period last year.

The bank notes that the data were compiled on the basis of a survey conducted by the State Statistics Committee.

Attracting foreign direct investment to the country was largely balanced by an increase in the repatriation of investments made under production sharing agreements (PSA), the CB said.
