Figures for inward investment to Wales are collated on a financial year basis. Since April 2021, we have recorded 150 investments into Wales from companies headquartered overseas and elsewhere in the UK, creating and/or safeguarding 12,226 jobs.
The associated capital investment for these projects is at least £1.8 billion; however, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, companies do not always disclose the capital investment value of investments, so this figure is a minimum rather than the whole value.
