EB-5 ECONOMIC IMPACT

Catalyzing the American Economy 

The EB-5 Program was created in 1990 to promote regional economic growth for American communities through foreign direct investment. Since the great recession in 2008, the EB-5 Program has become an increasingly important economic stimulus tool that delivered capital investment to American businesses and created jobs for American workers. In fact, between 2008 and 2015, the EB-5 Program helped generate $20.6 billion in foreign direct investment to create and retain U.S. jobs for Americans, all at no cost to the taxpayer.

Over the years, a variety of economic impact studies have been conducted by academics and government agencies to assess the Program’s impact on the U.S. economy. The EB-5 Economic Impact Interactive Map (below) demonstrates the robust economic impact generated by EB-5 investments:
