Notes:
(1) Selected based on the position of Hong Kong's inward direct investment from individual investor countries/
territories in recent years.
(2) 'Country/Territory' refers to the immediate source economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/territory from
which the funds are initially mobilised.
(3) Negative inflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans owed to
non-resident affiliates.
(4) Selected based on the position of Hong Kong's outward direct investment to individual recipient countries/
territories in recent years.
(5) 'Country/Territory' refers to the immediate destination economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/territory
in which the funds are ultimately used.
(6) Negative outflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans by
non-resident affiliates.
