Abstract	Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) continues to be a cornerstone of economic development strategies across emerging markets. With dynamic demographic trends, resource endowments, and evolving policy landscapes, these regions increasingly attract global investor interest. This review synthesizes FDI trends from 2000 to 2024, focusing on BRICS, ASEAN, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. It explores sectoral distributions, investment patterns, and the influence of global economic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. Key drivers such as market size, institutional reforms, and trade agreements—are critically assessed alongside persistent challenges including political instability, regulatory complexity, and infrastructural deficits. The paper provides evidence-based insights for policymakers and stakeholders, underlining the importance of resilient, transparent, and sustainable investment environments.
