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.
