Type of indicator (global, European, national)
Definition

It includes net long-term investment inflows with the objective of having a significant influence on the management of the company (10 per cent or more of voting shares) in a company operating in an economy other than that of the investor. FDI is the sum of equity, reinvestment of profits, other long-term capital and short-term capital as shown in the balance of payments. This series shows net inflows (new investment inflows less divestment) in the foreign investor economy report, and is divided by GDP.

Calculation method

The direct investment made by financial and monetary institutions is obtained from their statements to the Banco de Espa¿a in the integrated declaration system of their financial statements. For the other resident sectors, the data of the direct declaration system to the BE of external transactions and positions are complemented by those of the Registry of Foreign Investments (RIE) of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism. The use of the investment register is fundamental for the contrast of transactions and the detection of the absence of a declaration, especially to capture compensation transactions related to the restructuring of non-resident multinational groups carried out through foreign securities holding companies (ETVE). On the other hand, the RIE is a basic source for the recording of positions and for the estimation of reinvested profits.
