Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 1679, also known as the "Foreign Direct Investment Competitiveness Review Act," aims to enhance the United States' ability to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by directing the Secretary of Commerce to lead an interagency review in collaboration with other federal departments and agencies. The goal of this review is to identify strategies and policies that can improve the global competitiveness of the United States in attracting FDI.

By conducting a comprehensive review of current practices and regulations related to FDI, the Secretary of Commerce and other relevant agencies will be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the United States' current approach to attracting foreign investment.

The findings of this interagency review will be reported to Congress, providing lawmakers with valuable insights and recommendations for potential legislative or regulatory changes that could enhance the country's ability to compete for FDI on a global scale. By increasing transparency, streamlining processes, and addressing any barriers to investment, the United States can position itself as a more attractive destination for foreign investors. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1679 seeks to strengthen the United States' economic competitiveness by leveraging foreign direct investment as a key driver of growth and innovation. Through a collaborative and data-driven approach, the federal government aims to identify and implement strategies that will enhance the country's ability to attract and retain foreign investment, ultimately benefiting the economy and creating new opportunities for American businesses and workers.
