About the indicator

Net inflows of foreign direct investment — investment by non-residents that gives them at least 10% of the voting shares of an enterprise: equity capital, reinvested earnings and intra-company loans. Values can be negative when capital is withdrawn. The figures are distorted by flows in transit through holding-company jurisdictions.
