Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS)

The Direct Investment Positions by Counterpart Economy dataset (formerly Coordinated Direct Investment Survey, or CDIS) includes (i) inward foreign direct investment positions by instrument (equity or debt) and by economy of immediate investor and (ii) outward direct investment positions by instrument (equity or debt) and by economy of immediate investment. In most instances the database contains separate data on net equity and net debt positions, as well as separate data on financial companies and fellow enterprises.
