Major sources of FDI stock of selected regions, 2002

(a) Africa Major sources of inward FDI stock, as reported by investing economies

This corresponds to about a third of the inward FDI stock in developing countries.

If inward FDI stock data from recipient countries are used, the largest sources of South South FDI were Hong Kong (China) ( 223 billion), the British Virgin Islands ( 111 billion), China (81 billion), Singapore ( 54 billion) and Taiwan Province of China ( 49 billion).

These economies accounted for about 38 per cent of the total inward FDI stock of Africa in 2002.

If inward FDI stock data from the host economy are used, the value of FDI stock from developing countries is somewhat higher ( 877 billion).

On the inward side, developing countries' FDI has been increasing (to 25 per cent of inward FDI stock in services), though developed countries remain the main recipients.

In 2002, services accounted for about 55 per cent of the total stock of inward FDI in developing countries and some 85 per cent of outward FDI stock for developing countries.

They accounted for 91 per cent of the total inward FDI stock of Central and Eastern Europe in 2002.

They account for 42 per cent of the total inward FDI stock of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2002.

Offshore financial centres in the region are not covered because they do not provide geographical breakdown by source of inward FDI stock.
