BEIJING (Reuters) - China drew $12.4 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in March, up 2.2 percent from a year earlier, the Commerce Ministry reported on Thursday, while outbound non-financial investment rose 0.4 percent to $8.39 billion.
That's a sharp uptick from February's 0.9 percent reading and marks an overall rise of 11.3 percent for FDI in the first quarter to a total of $34.88 billion.
Outbound non-financial investment rose 29.6 percent to $25.79 billion in the first quarter.
The data follows a disappointing series of economic readings from March, including a surprising slump in exports and weaker-than-expected investment and industrial output.
FDI inflows into China rose an annual 1.7 percent in 2014 to $119.6 billion.
