About Statistics Publications & Documents Information by Country

This report examines the statistical measurement of foreign direct investment (FDI) in OECD and IMF Member countries. It provides an essential tool for FDI analysts and policy makers while preparing the ground for improving compliance with the agreed international standards of FDI data collection set by IMF and OECD.

The conclusions and the analysis are based on the information for ninety-six countries collected through a comprehensive survey on methodological standards and data collection methods organised under the auspices of the IMF Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics and the OECD Working Party on Financial Statistics.
