Notes: Figures refer to 1 June of the year.
The total number of regional headquarters and regional offices in this appendix may be greater than the actual number of regional headquarters and regional offices because some companies are joint ventures undertaken by two or more investors. The actual number for respective years is given in brackets, which is used in the calculation of percentage for each country/territory of incorporation.
