Notes:

(1) Selected based on the position of Hong Kong's inward direct investment from individual investor countries/

territories.

(2) Country/Territory here 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.

(5) Country/Territory here 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.
