Direct investment A → B: investor's vs receiver's figure
Do A and B report the same amount for A's direct investment in B?
- How to read a cell
- Every direct investment is counted twice: by the country that invests (A) and by the country that receives it (B). This table puts the two figures side by side for the same year. 'Agree' means they are within 10 % of each other. Big gaps are common where holding companies sit, as in Luxembourg, the Netherlands or Hong Kong. '?' means the two countries do not both report for the same year. “No data” means the source has no figure for that pair — the note in the cell says why; “not applicable” means the question does not arise for that pair.
- Reliability
- medium — both are official IMF survey figures and neither is 'the right one': they differ through valuation (market vs book), holding companies counted on one side only, reporting thresholds and confidential cells; the year is the latest both sides reported, so it can differ from I01; only pairs where both economies report have a figure
- Answered
- 15 % of 39,402 directed cells have an answer; the rest say why not
- Refresh
- yearly (IMF release, about one year behind)

The table
Rows are country A, columns country B; the two-letter codes are the usual country codes (AM = Armenia, DE = Germany…). Hover a cell to see the full value and its note. A dash means “no” or “nothing recorded”; a striped cell means either “no data” (the source has no figure for this pair — the note says why) or “not applicable” (the question makes no sense for this pair, for example a sea route for two landlocked countries). “All regions” on both sides shows the whole table.
