FDI STATISTICS
HOW TO ANALYSE GENUINE FDI
 ELIMINATE DOUBLE COUNTING
 Segregate capital in transit
 Via SPEs = BMD4
 Via operating units (not possible)
 Reclassify capital in transit in the form of loans between entities not
directly linked by FDI (BMD4 – XDP)
 Reclassify round-tripping of domestic funds (BMD4 - XDP)
 Other refinements
 Identify FDI EQUITY flows in the form of mergers & acquisitions (BMD4 - XDP)
 Identify ultimate investor (ultimate beneficiary) (BMD4 - XDP)

FDI as globalization indicator
 LIMITS OF FDI AS GLOBALIZATION INDICATOR ARE CONCEPTUAL
 FDI represents only the share of foreign investment but not total capital of
MNEs
 BMD4 resolves most analytical/methodological problems
 Timeliness of estimates should be improved
 FDI IS THE STARTING POINT FOR LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP
 Between MNEs (of all sizes) and their non-resident affiliates
 FDI allows complementary cross-border (or domestic) financing controlled by
the MNE all of which contribute to globalisation
 It is necessary to identify total financing capacity of MNEs and the share of
FDI
 OECD-WGIIS work on financing of MNEs is the linkage between FDI and
economic globalization [DAF/INV/STAT(2011)10/FINAL]
