Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the dynamics of the market of international investment resources. A comprehensive analysis of current trends in the market of international investment resources in terms of its structural division into the market of foreign direct investment, the market of basic investment instruments - stocks and bonds, and the market of financial derivatives. Based on the analyzed statistical information, the authors draw conclusions about current trends in the international market of investment resources. The analysis of the foreign direct investment market revealed a tendency to decrease the volume of direct investment capital in all regions of the world. It is shown that foreign direct investment market is suffering severely from the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as from the impact of other factors such as the new industrial revolution, the transition of many world policies to greater economic nationalism, and the trend of sustainable development. In particular, countries with transition economies, developed and developing countries are suffered from decline of about 40% of foreign direct investments most of all. The market of basic investment instruments demonstrates a tendency to recover: the global stock market and the bond market also suffered significantly at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, but by the end of 2020 these markets had almost fully recovered and the bond market in general began to show record volumes and values. The derivatives and hybrid financial instruments market is showing a steady positive upward trend in 2020: trading in instruments such as currency futures, stock market futures, ETF options, etc. is showing significant growth. Such trends indicate that investors have become more active in portfolio investment strategies.
