In Q2 2020, forecast business opportunities and the value of these investments with the U.S. Agency for International Development have seen the largest increase in almost four years.
A total of 242 opportunities are listed in the forecast for this quarter, worth a total of $13.2 billion — a 20% increase in opportunities and a 27% increase in value compared to Q1.
Increased investment in programs supporting economic growth and trade, as well as global opportunities managed from Washington are responsible for this growth. The largest rise in the value of opportunities since 2015 was between Q2 and Q3 2016, which saw the value of opportunities increase by 50%.
