Investment Map – GUIDED TOUR

When you log into the Investment Map portal you will see four modules indicated by four tabs at the top of the page. By default, you will be directed to the first module: “identify industries for inward investment” for your country.

This module contains four types of information: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), foreign affiliates, international trade and tariffs.

Note: this Guided Tour is designed to show functionalities only, and is provisional. A full user Guide, including detailed notes on content and analytics, is under construction.

Module 1: Identify industries for inward investment

By default, economic activities (or industries) are ranked in descending order according to the amount of inward investment flows. Therefore, for the selected country, it displays at the top of the screen, the industries that have attracted the most foreign investment in the last year for which data are available. You can sort the economic activities by type of activity (primary in yellow, secondary in blue, services in pink). You can also analyse the information at the aggregate level, by type of activity (primary in yellow, secondary in blue, services in pink).
