The aim of the WIPS is to provide insights into the mediumterm
prospects for FDI flows. This year’s survey was directed to
executives in the largest 5,000 non-financial TNCs and professionals
working in 245 national and sub-national IPAs. Questions for TNC
executives were designed to capture their views on the global
investment climate, their company’s expected changes in FDI
expenditures and internationalization levels, and the importance
their company gives to various regions and countries. IPAs were
asked about their views on the global investment climate and which
investor countries and industries were most promising in terms of
inward FDI.
