Foreign Direct Investment by Economic Activity and Country

This dataset provides insights into Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Saudi Arabia, offering key indicators that reflect investment trends and economic activity. It includes data on FDI inflows, FDI outflows, net FDI, and sectoral distribution of investments. The dataset also covers investment sources, ownership structures, and economic activities benefiting from foreign investments. These indicators help assess the country's investment climate, track changes in foreign capital inflows, and support economic planning and policy-making.

Notes:

• Calculated according to the assets/liabilities methodology
• FDI net inflow: represents the difference between inflows and outflows of foreign direct investment inflows.
• FDI inflows: Financial transactions that arise between the FDI institution, direct investors and related companies outside the Saudi economy, which occur during a certain period of time, and form inflows when their positive impact appears in excess of equity and/or debt instruments.
• FDI Outflow: are financial transactions that arise between the Foreign Direct Investment Corporation, direct investors, and related companies outside the Saudi economy, and which occur during a certain period of time. They are outflows when their impact appears in a decrease in the side of obligations, such as paid dividends or repayment of loans and credit receivables, or when the foreign shareholder exits.
