he data presented includes FDI projectsthat have either been
announced or opened by a company. The data on capital investment
and job creation is based on the investment the company is making at
the time of the project announcement or opening. As companies can
raise capital locally, phase their investment overaperiod of time, and can
channel their investment through different countriesfor tax efficiency,
the data used in thisreport is different to the official data on FDI flows. The
data from fDi Marketsis more accurate and a real-time indicator of the
real investment companies are making in their overseassubsidiaries.
