The global economic situation is responsible for the decrease in foreign investment in 2022-23. After rising inflation due to Russia-Ukraine war, developed and developing countries of the world are facing economic crisis. Inflation in America and Europe has reached the highest level of 40 years, due to which the Central Bank is continuously increasing the cost of loans. Due to this, investors are continuously withdrawing their investment from emerging markets. There is a possibility of a recession in Europe.
