Shanghái certificó el miércoles 30 nuevas sedes regionales de empresas multinacionales y 15 centros de investigación y desarrollo financiados por entidades extranjeras en una ceremonia presidida por el alcalde de la ciudad, Gong Zheng, según un comunicado de la comisión de comercio del gobierno municipal. De las empresas certificadas esta semana, ocho figuran en la lista Fortune 500. Hasta el mes pasado, Shanghái albergaba un total de 1.084 sedes regionales y 647 centros de I+D para empresas extranjeras, lo que la sitúa en el centro de los esfuerzos de las autoridades chinas por atraer a las empresas extranjeras y restaurar la confianza de los inversores. "Shanghái sigue siendo uno de los destinos preferidos para la inversión extranjera y una ubicación privilegiada para las empresas multinacionales en su cadena industrial y de suministro global", afirma el comunicado. Mientras tanto, la IED real utilizada del país se ha contraído durante tres años consecutivos, cayendo un 9,5% interanual en 2025 tras un descenso del 24,7% en 2024, según la Oficina Nacional de Estadística.
