FIA reported that Japan by far registered the highest amount of investment with 4.7 billion USD, followed by Samoa and the Republic of Korea with 899 million USD and 711 million USD, respectively.
However, September's FDI disbursements only hit 820 million USD, which was the lowest level during the last five months, said FIA.
