2020.

In the context of competition to attract foreign direct investment, Arab countries have embarked on a set of reforms in various legal, legislative and regulatory fields in order to improve their competitive environment to attract foreign direct investment.

But with the spread of the Covid-19 virus, foreign direct investment flows have been affected in the world as a whole and in the Arab countries, given that the latter is linked to investment-exporting countries, which in turn have been affected by this epidemic, such as the European Union, the United States of America, Russia and China.

That is why our research paper came to highlight the reality of foreign direct investment in Arab countries and the extent to which they are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

It was found that the incoming foreign direct investment flows to the Arab countries deviated from expectations and rose by 2.

5%, to reach $40.

5 billion in 2020.
