Notes:
(1) Country/territory here refers to the immediate source economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/territory
from which the funds are initially mobilised.
(2) Negative inflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans owed to
non-resident affiliates.
(3) Country/territory here refers to the immediate destination economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/
territory in which the funds are ultimately used.
(4) Negative outflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans by
non-resident affiliates.
