US sobrepaso a China en una encuesta como el país más atractivo para atraer inversión extranjera directa.

Esta es la primera vez que US supera a China desde el 2001. En tercer lugar quedo Brasil, seguido por Canadá e India.

U.S. Overtakes China

For the first time since 2001, the U.S. knocked China out of first place in an annual survey of executives rating favorable places for foreign direct investment.

The U.S. narrowly outscored China in the survey by consulting firm A.T. Kearney of executives from 302 companies world-wide. China slipped to second place and Brazil came in third, followed by Canada. India dropped to No. 5, from No. 2 last year.

The release of the survey Wednesday comes amid several indications of foreign interest in U.S. manufacturing. Toyota Motor Corp. 7203.TO +0.53% last week said it would invest $200 million to expand parts plants in Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee. The Japanese auto maker said the plan would bring its investments in North America over the past two years to more than $2 billion.


Other foreign companies are expanding in the U.S. through acquisitions. China's Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. in May agreed to pay $4.7 billion for U.S. pork producer Smithfield Foods Inc. SFD 0.00% Apollo Tyres Ltd. 500877.BY +0.18% of India two weeks ago announced plans to pay about $2.5 billion for Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. CTB -0.28%

Confidence in the U.S. has grown with the surge in U.S. oil and gas production, which promises lower energy costs and export opportunities in petrochemicals and other products. Though foreign companies are wary of the U.S. federal budget deficit and gridlock in Washington, the U.S. is benefiting as some companies bring back production previously outsourced to Asia, said Paul Laudicina, chairman emeritus of A.T. Kearney.

Some investors "have basically rediscovered the U.S.," said Mr. Laudicina, who founded the survey more than 15 years ago and still oversees it. He noted that the U.S. economy, though wobbly, has outperformed Europe since the global slump of 2008 and 2009. The U.S. also has a healthier birthrate than most other wealthy countries, he said.

China's allure has been dimmed slightly by rising wages and a rapidly aging population, Mr. Laudicina said, but the country is likely to remain a huge magnet for foreign investors. Brazil is benefiting from investments related to the country hosting next year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

The Kearney survey was taken last October and November. Executives were questioned about the likelihood of investing in various countries over the next three years. Kearney uses the responses to create an index ranking 25 countries on a scale of 0 to 3 in terms of attraction. The U.S. scored 2.09 in the latest survey and China, 2.02. About two-thirds of the companies surveyed had annual sales of more than $1 billion and the sales for all were above $500 million.

Kearney has conducted the survey every year since 1998. The U.S. topped the survey for the first five years, before giving way to China in the surveys released in 2002 through 2012. In last year's survey, the U.S. ranked fourth.

The Kearney survey covers expectations about future investments, not actual spending; the latter is measured by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, or Unctad. In a preliminary report for 2012 released in January, Unctad estimated that China, including Hong Kong, attracted about $192 billion of foreign direct investment, or about 15% of the global total, making it the No. 1 recipient last year, while the U.S. drew about $147 billion. Updated estimates from Unctad are due for release Wednesday.For 2011, the U.S. attracted $227 billion and China $220 billion, according to Unctad.
