By contrast, the relative importance of Asia as a location for inward investment rose at a relatively fast pace between and , its share of the global total rising by 7. North America had the second highest share As with developments for inward FDI, between and the relative shares of Europe Figure 2 presents information on the relative importance of FDI stocks compared with the economic size of each economy as measured by gross domestic product GDP.
The global average in for the ratio of outward direct investment to GDP was Direct investment in the EU was valued at Aside from Hong Kong and Singapore there were three other global competitors among those shown in Figure 2 that recorded higher ratios than the EU Canada, Australia and South Africa. The relatively low overall level of inward FDI in Japan resulted from an absence of foreign investment in most activities, aside from the manufacture of machinery and motor vehicles.
That said, there were some exceptions: for example, the ratio of direct investment abroad relative to GDP for Japan was By contrast, the value of direct investment abroad from Mexico, Brazil and Turkey was relatively low both in relation to GDP and in relation to the value of inward investment in both of these economies.
These differences between ratios for inward and outward stocks of FDI may be used to identify which economies were net investors in ; this was the case for South Africa, Japan, Canada, South Korea and the EU; the United States and China had similar levels of inward and outward investment.
However, investment decisions often are focused on profits. As the relative price of transport and communications has fallen, it has become considerably easier for multinational enterprises to consider moving their production locations across the globe, for example, to benefit from cost savings that may be linked to lower labour costs or local resource endowments of primary goods.
Furthermore, FDI provides enterprises with the possibility of accessing protected and regulated service markets through the establishment of a commercial presence in the host economy. Table 1 below provides details relating to the size of the top 20 non-financial multinational enterprise groups in the world in terms of their foreign assets. Looking more generally across the whole of the top 20 non-financial multinational enterprises, 10 were located in the EU four in the United Kingdom, three in Germany, and one in each of Belgium, France and Italy , five were from the United States, four were Japanese, leaving a single multinational from Hong Kong.
The share of foreign assets in total assets was generally very high for most multinationals in the top 20, accounting for more than four fifths of all assets in eight multinationals.
However, more than half of all assets were in the domestic economy for four of the non-financial multinationals appearing in Table 1 — Exxon Mobil Corporation The stock of foreign investment in China more than quintupled between and Developments for both inward and outward stocks of FDI are shown in Table 2. The fastest overall growth rate for inward investment between and was recorded in China where the nominal value of inward FDI stocks were more than five times as high in than in ; the next highest growth rates were recorded by the United States and India.
The pace of change was even more rapid concerning the level of Chinese investment abroad: in , outward FDI from China was valued at just over 10 times as high as it had been in It should be noted that the total value of these stocks was, in , still relatively small. The final presentation of information concerning inward and outward stocks of FDI describes the share of world stocks between the leading global players see Figure 3.
In , just under one quarter The EU recorded the highest share of outward stocks of FDI in and the second highest share of inward stocks; the reverse situation — highest inward stocks and second highest outward stocks — was observed in the United States. It is interesting to note that Hong Kong accounted for the third highest share of global FDI stocks, both for inward and for outward investment. FDI flows comprise capital provided by a foreign direct investor to an FDI enterprise, or capital received from an FDI enterprise by a foreign direct investor; they are composed of three components: equity capital, reinvested earnings and intra-company loans.

It is foreign money that comes into the domestic economy. Inward investment stands in contrast to outward investment , which is an outflow of investment capital from a local entities to foreign economies. Inward investments typically stem from multinational corporations investing capital in foreign markets to grow their own presence or to meet specific demand of the local economy.
This can take the form of new demand for products or increased development of a region. A common type of inward investment is a foreign direct investment FDI. This occurs when one company purchases another business or establishes new operations for an existing business in a country different than the one of its origin.
Inward investments or foreign direct investments often result in a significant number of mergers and acquisitions. Rather than creating new businesses, inward investments often occur when a foreign company acquires or merges with an existing company. Inward investments tend to help companies grow and open borders for international integration. This was a They were placed on your computer when you launched this website.
