The latest provisional results also show that more than 6,000 jobs were created or safeguarded.

 Speaking ahead of attending today’s launch of the International Festival for Business 2016, Mr Skates said: 

 
> “This is another positive year for inward investment in Wales as we continue to win record\-breaking levels of investment. 
> 
>  “Project numbers are the second best on record, beaten only by  the previous year’s exceptional results. We are attracting new investment from high quality companies like Aston Martin and re\-investment from global businesses like General Dynamics and Raytheon that are creating a substantial number of new, highly skilled, well paid jobs and career opportunities.
> 
>  “The value to the Welsh economy from these investments is at least £660m  creating wider economic benefits, jobs and new business opportunities for Welsh companies through supply chains.
> 
>  “These inward investment projects were from companies based in 23 countries around the world. They could have chosen to invest anywhere in the world but opted for Wales. It is a clear indication of the regard in which Wales is held as a business location and that the pro\-business approach of the Welsh Government is paying dividends.”

 The largest project and one of the most high profile investments was from Aston Martin that is to manufacture its new DBX crossover vehicle in Wales and create more than 750 highly\-skilled jobs at St Athan, with a further 1000 jobs being created across the supply chain and local businesses as a direct result of the investment.

 The new manufacturing centre was secured with support from Welsh Government against fierce competition from more than 20 other potential locations worldwide.

 Aston Martin CEO Dr Andrew Palmer said: 

 
> "Aston Martin’s decision to invest in Wales for the DBX crossover came after a lengthy global study. Wales won through for their ability to meet our demanding requirements on quality, cost and delivery of the project at the St Athan site. 
> 
>  “Since announcing the project, we have been consistently impressed with the quality of the local workforce applying to work at Aston Martin and the engagement from the Welsh Government to help us in the early stages of setting up this new facility.”

 Mr Skates is visiting Raytheon UK today to hear how an inward investment at the company’s Deeside facility has created 50 jobs and is having a much wider positive impact on the supply chain in North Wales. 

 Raytheon are now in advanced talks with two Wales based companies with a view to them becoming part of the long term Raytheon supply chain with potentially multi\-million pound contracts. He said Raytheon UK was a great example of how inward investment can create direct and indirect benefits for the Welsh economy.

 Roger Shone, General Manager, Raytheon UK, said: 

 
> “Between April 2015 and March 2016 our head count has increased from 66 to 116 permanent employees and 16 long term contractors.  During this period Welsh Government has provided us with support and assistance in support of our growth plans."

 The provisional inward investment figures follow the Cabinet Secretary’s announcement last week that more than 40,000 jobs were supported by the Welsh Government in 2015/16 \- 5\.3% more jobs than in 2014\-15\.

 Recording breaking tourism figures also showed Wales attracted 10\.45 million overnight visits from GB residents in 2015\. This was 4\.5% up on 2014 figures when the number of visitors exceeded 10 million for the first time.

 Mr Skates added that employment is now at a record high and has risen faster in Wales than any other part of the UK, while unemployment has fallen faster in Wales than anywhere else and is substantially below that in Scotland and the UK as whole. 

 The UK Government's inward investment and export assist arm UKTI is expected to shortly publish its own data for inward investment projects for the regions and nations of the UK.

Dengys y canlyniadau dros dro diweddaraf hyn bod dros 6,000 o swyddi newydd wedi cael eu creu neu eu diogelu.

 
> Yn siarad cyn mynd i’r lansiad heddiw yng Ngŵyl Fusnes Ryngwladol 2016 yn Lerpwl dywedodd Mr Skates:   
> 
>  “Mae hon yn flwyddyn ragorol arall i Gymru – mae lefelau mewnfuddsoddi yng Nghymru wedi torri pob record.
> 
>  “Mae nifer y prosiectau mewnfuddsoddi yr uchaf ond un ar record.  Yr unig beth sydd wedi’u curo yw canlyniadau rhagorol y llynedd.  Rydym yn denu buddsoddiad newydd gan gwmnïau llwyddiannus fel Aston Matin ac ail\-fuddsoddiad gan fusnesau byd\-eang fel General Dynamics a Raytheon, cwmnïau sy’n creu nifer sylweddol o swyddi newydd, medrus iawn sy’n talu cyflog da iawn ac yn rhoi cyfle i’r unigolyn ddatblygu gyrfa.
> 
>  “Oherwydd y buddsoddiadau hyn, mae economi Cymru yn werth o leiaf £660 miliwn ac yn llwyddo i greu mwy o fuddiannau economaidd, swyddi a thrwy y cadwyni cyflenwi, gyfleoedd busnes newydd. 
> 
>  “Mae’r prosiectau mewnfuddsoddi hyn yn gysylltiedig â chwmnïau sydd wedi’u lleoli mewn 23 o wledydd ar hyd a lled y byd.  Roedd ganddyn nhw’r dewis i fuddsoddi yn unrhyw le yn y byd, ond Cymru aeth â hi yn y pen draw.  Mae hyn yn dangos yn glir y parch sydd gan y gymuned fusnes i Gymru fel lleoliad busnes ac mae’r ffordd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n helpu busnesau yn talu ar ei ganfed hefyd.”

 Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr Aston Martin Dr Andrew Palmer: 

 
> “Daeth Aston Martin i’w penderfyniad i fuddsoddi yng Nghymru ar gyfer y cerbyd DBX Crossover  wedi cynnal astudiaeth fyd\-eang hirfaith. Enillodd Cymru oherwydd ei gallu i fodloni ein gofynion heriol ar ansawdd, cost a chyflawni'r prosiect ar safle Sain Tathan.”
> 
>  "Ers cyhoeddi'r prosiect, rydym wedi derbyn argraff da a chyson ynghylch ansawdd y gweithlu lleol sy'n ymgeisio i weithio yn Aston Martin ac ymrwymiad  Llywodraeth Cymru i'n helpu drwy’r  camau cynnar o sefydlu’r safle cynhyrchu newydd hwn."

 Heddiw, bydd Mr Skates yn ymweld â Raytheon UK i glywed sut mae mewnfuddsoddiad yn safle’r cwmni yng Nglannau Dyfrdwy wedi creu 50 o swyddi a’r effaith bositif iawn y mae’r datblygiad hwn yn ei gael ar y gadwyn gyflenwi yng Ngogledd Cymru.

 Bellach, mae Raytheon mewn trafodaethau cadarnhaol gyda dau gwmni o Gymru ynghylch eu cynnwys yn eu cadwyn gyflenwi gyda’r potensial o gael contractau sy’n werth miliynau.  Dywedodd bod Raytheon UK yn enghraifft wych o sut gall mewnfuddsoddi greu buddiannau uniongyrchol ac anuniongyrchol i economi Cymru

  Dywedodd Roger Shone, Rheolwr Gyfarwyddwr Raytheon UK:  

 
> “Rhwng Ebrill 2015 a Mawrth 2016, mae nifer y staff parhaol wedi cynyddu o 66 i 116 gyda 16 o gontractwyr sydd â chontract hirdymor.  Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi help i ni gyda’n cynlluniau i ehangu.”

 Mae’r ffigurau mewnfuddsoddi dros dro hyn yn dilyn cyhoeddiad Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yr wythnos ddiwethaf bod dros 40,000 o swyddi wedi cael help gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn 2015/16 – 5\.3 y cant yn fwy o swyddi nag yn 2014/15\.

 Yn ôl ffigurau twristiaeth ar gyfer 2015 \- sydd hefyd wedi torri pob record – fe lwyddodd Cymru i ddenu 10\.45 miliwn o ymwelwyr dros nos o Brydain Fawr.  Roedd hyn 4\.5 y cant yn uwch na ffigurau 2014\.  Bryd hynny, daeth y ffigur ar gyfer nifer yr ymwelwyr yn uwch na 10 miliwn a hynny am y tro cyntaf erioed.

 Ychwanegodd Mr Skates bod cyflogaeth nawr ar ei uchaf erioed ac wedi cynyddu’n gynt yng Nghymru nag yn unrhyw ran arall o’r Deyrnas Unedig.  Hefyd, mae lefelau diweithdra wedi gostwng yn gynt yng Nghymru nag mewn unrhyw fan arall ac mae’r lefelau dipyn is na’r rheini yn yr Alban a’r DU hefyd.

 Yn fuan, bydd cangen mewnfuddsoddi ac allforio Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig – UKTI – yn cyhoeddi ei ddata ei hun ar gyfer prosiectau mewnfuddsoddi ar gyfer rhanbarthau a gwledydd y Deyrnas Unedig.
