Hundreds of jobs spring from foreign investment
Western Mail
|June 27, 2025
THE number of foreign direct investment projects in Wales grew significantly in the last financial year, creating and safeguarding more than 4,100 jobs.
Wales secured 65 projects in 2024-25, a 23% increase on the previous financial year. This was the second-highest increase of any nation or region of the UK.
The investment includes the promise of 2,470 jobs being created, a 30% increase compared with 2023-24. Again, this was the second-highest increase of any nation or region across the UK.
The results have been published by the Department for Business and Trade in its annual report on foreign direct investments in the UK.
A total of 1,652 jobs were also safeguarded in Wales - the highest number of all nations and regions.
As well as new investments into Wales from overseas firms, the figures include expansion projects by foreign companies already located here.
