Beijing. Foreign direct investment growth in China slowed further in September, the commerce ministry said on Wednesday as it warned global trade faced a “severe situation” due to the West’s economic woes.

Foreign direct investment rose 7.88 percent year on year last month to $9.05 billion, the ministry said in a statement, compared with growth of 11.1 percent in August and 19.83 percent in July.

For the first nine months, China took a total of $86.68 billion in foreign direct investment, up 16.6 percent from the same period last year.

That compares with growth of 17.7 percent in the January to August period.

The commerce ministry said investment from “major Asian economies” continued to expand last month, while European investment fell.

The pace of decline in US investment slowed last month, it said.

Commerce ministry spokesman Shen Danyang told reporters foreign trade would face a “quite severe” situation in the next two quarters, as the debt crisis in euro zone economies deepened and the United States struggled to grow.
