Spain has transformed from a net borrower of foreign direct investment to a net exporter. Inward FDI in the late 1980s and 1990s boosted Spain's economy by increasing investment, exports, and productivity. This inward investment helped spur Spanish companies to invest outwardly as well. By 2006, Spain's outward FDI stock accounted for 41% of its GDP and it accounted for 6% of global outward FDI flows from 2001-2006. Outward FDI has benefited Spain by further increasing trade, particularly in services, with major targets being Latin America and Europe.
