How to read this

Flows are net and annual. They record new investment minus disinvestment in a single year, so they can be negative and move sharply. For a longer-run picture look at several years, or at FDI positions (stocks) in the bilateral data.
Conduit flows inflate some rankings. Financial centres such as Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR and Caribbean jurisdictions host holding companies and special-purpose entities through which multinationals route capital. Their figures often reflect corporate structuring rather than productive investment in the local economy.
Scale matters. US$ totals favour large economies; FDI as a % of GDP shows how important foreign investment is relative to the size of each economy, but is most volatile for small ones.
World totals are the World Bank's aggregate and may differ slightly from the sum of the economies listed. The latest year can be revised as late reporters submit data.
