Recent trends in foreign direct investment
Article Abstract:
The record volumes of foreign direct investment (FDI) to and from member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development achieved in 1995 declined slightly in 1996. Total outflows and inflows for the year reached $259 billion and $198 billion, respectively. The drop in outflows is attributed to the cutbacks in investments by the US, Germany and Sweden. The US was the country that attracted the most FDI while, regionally, the European Union had this distinction.

Salient features of international markets in early 1996
Article Abstract:
The Jan-Apr 1996 period in OECD countries revealed a favorable volume of new issues of euro-dollar bonds stemming from a hike in floating rate issues, an increase in the market for global bonds with primary offerings reaching $32 billion, a doubling of international equity placement and a contraction in the arrangement of internationally syndicated credits. In addition, the volume of financing for the same period reached $463 billion compared to $336 in 1995.

Special features: recent trends in foreign direct investment
Article Abstract:
Some $196 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from member-countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was realized in 1994, representing an 11% growth from the 1993 level. Such upturn also marked the second successive time that annual FDI movement increased for OECD members. The trend toward international economic integration is cited as the impetus behind this increase in FDI flows in OECD countries.
