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.
