Data notes & caveats

World Bank WDI economies may include territories or special administrative regions, so the page uses economies rather than nations. Values are comparable within the selected WDI series, year and unit. Row-level final-status flags were not available, so no claim is made that every observation has final status.

Methodology

Values are ranked in descending order from the World Bank WDI series Foreign direct investment, net inflows (BoP, current US$), using 2024 values measured in current US dollars. Aggregate and reporting-group entries are excluded so rows represent WDI economies and territories. Because no cross-row total is supplied, the chart uses raw values only and omits concentration shares.

Source consistency notes

Rows use one World Bank WDI series, one annual period, one unit and the same descending ranking basis. The underlying source references carry the economy identifier, WDI series identifier and year.
