EB5 Direct Investment

The new regulations require applicants to make a much larger amount of investment under the EB-5 immigrant investor program, either in commercial projects in TEA or other places of the U.S. The standard investment amount is increased to USD 1.8M from USD 1M, while the amount of investment required to be made in projects within TEA is raised to USD 900,000 from USD 500,000. What’s more, the investment amount is subject to further adjustment because of inflation.

This brief explores the notion of return on investment, and the rationale behind the economic and business case for spending on early childhood.
