Developed country investors’
forecasts of their foreign expenditures are quite stable over the short
term with only minimal changes in the share of those who would reduce
their investment levels in the medium term, while there is an increase of
investments of firms based in developing countries for the year 2016.
In particular, about 7 per cent of developed-country TNCs expect their
FDI budgets to decline in 2016, compared with 3 per cent of TNCs
from developing countries (figure 9).
