Question
What is the total value of inward investment to Wales since May 2021?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
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.
