Japan Net Foreign Direct Investment

Net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) represents the balance of cross-border direct investment flows, calculated as the difference between inbound and outbound direct investments recorded in the Balance of Payments. It reflects the net amount of capital invested by foreign entities into domestic businesses, minus domestic investments made abroad. A positive value indicates a net inflow of direct investment into the country, while a negative value suggests a net outflow.
