About this data
<b>This dataset <i>FDI positions main aggregates, BMD4</i> is updated every quarter and includes annual aggregate Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) positions for OECD member countries and for non-OECD G20 countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa), which are included in International Investment Position (IIP) accounts.</b><p>FDI positions record the total level of direct investment at a given point in time, usually the end of a quarter or of a year.</p><p>In this dataset, FDI positions are presented on two different basis:</p><ul style="list-style-type=square"><li><b>the asset/liability presentation</b>: FDI statistics are organised according to whether the investment relates to an asset or a liability for the country compiling the statistics. The asset/liability presentation does not show the direction of influence as the directional presentation does.</li><li><b>the directional presentation</b>: FDI statistics are organised according to the direction of the investment for the reporting economy—either outward or inward.</li><p>For more details on the difference between the two presentations, see the OECD note <a href="http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/FDI-statistics-asset-liability-vs-directional-presentation.pdf">Implementing latest international standards-Asset liability versus directional presentation</a></p></ul><p>FDI positions aggregates in this dataset are measured in USD millions, in millions of national currency and as a share of GDP.</p><p>In 2014, many countries implemented the latest international standards for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) statistics:</p><ul style="list-style-type=square"> <li>the <a href="http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/investment-policy/fdibenchmarkdefinition.htm">OECD’s Benchmark Definition of FDI, 4th edition (BMD4);</a> and</li> <li>the <a href="http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/bop/2007/bopman6.htm">IMF’s Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, 6th edition (BPM6)</a></li></ul><p>This OECD database was launched in March 2015 which includes the data series reported by national experts according to BMD4.
