Lists show up to five countries & economies with observations in this year. Equal values are ordered by country code.
About this indicator What it measures Foreign direct investment entering the reporting economy, less disinvestment, expressed as a percentage of GDP.
How to interpret it Negative values mean disinvestment exceeded new inflows. This is not inward investment minus residents’ outward investment.
Important limitation Large transactions can cause sharp annual swings and values above 100%. Reporting and coverage differ across countries.
Year-on-year change compares consecutive observed years only. Percentage-based indicators show percentage-point differences; other indicators show percentage change. Missing values remain missing.
