Foreign investment rose to $4.377 billion in the previous fiscal year, the highest amount since 2008-09, the State Bank said on Tuesday.
In FY09, the country received a total foreign investment of $2.665bn.
However, the sudden rise in the total foreign investment was due to $2.1bn investment in the Eurobond. If this amount is deducted, the total foreign investment is reduced to around $2.2bn, of which foreign direct investment was of $1.631bn.
