Foreign direct investment in the Chinese mainland rose 8 percent year on year to 76.27 billion yuan (US$11 billion) in September, official data showed yesterday.

The growth was faster than the 1.9 percent FDI increase in August, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

The number of new overseas-funded companies set up last month rose 45.7 percent year on year to 4,591.

In the first nine months, total FDI inflow edged up 2.9 percent to 636.7 billion yuan. New overseas companies set up in the period surged 95.1 percent to 45,922, the ministry said.

FDI in high-tech sectors, which accounted for 22.5 percent of the total, climbed 6.8 percent in the first three quarters, ministry spokesperson Gao Feng said at a news conference. Investment into high-tech manufacturing rose 22.5 percent in the same period.

Investment from countries along the Belt and Road increased 14.9 percent from a year earlier. China’s 11 pilot free trade zones saw FDI inflow up 14.7 percent, accounting for 12.5 percent of total FDI.
