UK Data Service 14 October 2019 BUSINESSESFOREIGN INVESTMENT <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><div><span style="font-size: 13px;">The <span style="font-style: italic;">Foreign Direct Investment </span>(FDI) refers to cross border investment of at least a 10% ownership stake or voting rights in an enterprise. ONS surveys FDI at the enterprise group level using “group reporting units” which are often not the same as the classical reporting units used for almost all other ONS&nbsp; business surveys. This study provides markers for the presence of FDI flows consistent with standard ONS reporting units, derived from the each reporting unit’s group reporting unit. This dataset can be matched with other all other ONS survey data, e.g. ABS, etc. by the reporting unit variable.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br><div><span style="font-size: 13px;">This dataset is compiled from two primary sources comprising the universe of businesses engaging in&nbsp; Foreign Direct Investment which form the sample frame for ONS’s FDI surveys, and the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR).&nbsp;</span>Enterprises maintained on the FDI universe make or receive overseas direct investment of at least 10% of the ordinary shares or voting rights of the receiving enterprise. The FDI surveys collect consolidated financial information relating to direct investment in the UK by enterprises located abroad (inward FDI) and direct investment abroad by enterprises located in the UK (outward FDI), including earnings, flows and positions.&nbsp;</div></div> United Kingdom Institutions/organisationsNational Businesses engaging in Foreign Direct Investment Numeric Longitudinal/panel/cohort No sampling (total universe) Compilation/Synthesis <p>The Data Collection is available to users registered with the UK Data Service.</p><p>Commercial use is not permitted.</p><p>Use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
