Brazil’s foreign direct investment (FDI) sharply rebounded at the start of 2026, shifting from a significant outflow to a robust inflow. After registering a negative FDI balance of -$5.25 billion in December 2025, the country attracted $8.17 billion in January 2026, according to data updated on 24 February 2026.

The turnaround suggests a marked improvement in investor appetite for Brazilian assets after the year-end outflows, with January’s data indicating renewed confidence in the country’s economic outlook. While the specific drivers of the shift were not detailed in the release, the move from negative to solidly positive FDI underscores Brazil’s continued role as a key destination for international capital in Latin America. Investors will be watching upcoming months’ figures to assess whether this momentum can be sustained.
