Outlays by foreign direct investors to acquire or to establish U.S. businesses increased sharply in 2007 after also increasing strongly in 2006. Outlays reached $276.8 billion in 2007, the second largest recorded and the highest since 2000, when new investment outlays peaked at $335.6 billion.

In order to align its programs with available funding, BEA is eliminating the survey of new foreign direct investment in the United States. The last release in this series, which will present data on new investment by foreign direct investors in 2008, will be in June 2009.
