With more than twice as much foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2012 than in 2011, Hong Kong tops the ranking of most attractive international financial centre in Asia. A total of $6.12bn was invested in the special administrative region last year across 127 projects, compared to $2.55bn through 67 projects in 2011. Singapore, which topped the ranking in 2011, also recorded an increase in FDI inflows, but its 50% growth in capital investment was not enough to maintain its lead among Asia's financial centres and the city-state slipped to second place with $3.72bn of investment through 94 projects.
