Jointly organised by the OECD and China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), this seminar on "Measuring FDI to promote a harmonious society" took place on 9 September 2007, in Xiamen, China, on the occasion of the 11th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT - www.chinafair.org.cn). 

Discussions focused on:

  • measuring inward/outward investment for policy making, including a case study of Japan;
