What is FDI Inflows (US$)?

- Includes: equity capital (shares purchased in local firms), reinvested earnings (profits plowed back into affiliates), and intercompany loans (funds lent between parent and affiliate)
- Indicates the absolute scale of foreign investors’ financial commitments
What is FDI Inflows (% of GDP)?
