The less-developed countries also have a substantial amount of inward FDI stocks, at 23 percent, but only 11 percent of the world’s outward stock. 2 also shows that FDI stocks in the least-developed countries are almost negligible, at under 1 percent. In terms of flows of FDI, for 2004, the less-developed countries received 36 percent of inward flows but provided only 12 percent of outward flows. The current engine for outward flows of FDI is the group of developed countries, at 88 percent. We conclude that in aggregate, the developed countries account for most of the world’s FDI, and so we need to study the MNEs from these advanced economies to understand their contribution to economic development.
