Claim: FDI equity flow has gone up by 47%. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-09-03): Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) equity flows into India jumped 48% on year in April-June quarter to $16.1 billion with services sector, computer software and non-conventional energy sectors bringing in bulk of these, according to data by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. [...] Total FDI, which includes equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital, grew by 28 per cent to $22.49 billion during the first quarter of this fiscal from $17.56 billion in April-June 2023-24. In 2023-24 FDI equity inflows had declined 3.5% on year to $44.4 billion.

Evidence (2024-10-01): Inward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows by partner country is the value of cross-border direct investment transactions received by the reporting economy during a year, by source country. [...] This indicator is limited to 8 origin countries while the source database includes inward FDI flows for worldwide geographic details, The indicator enables the identification of the major sources of FDI for a specific economy in that year. Inward FDI flows are allocated to the immediate counterpart country for all OECD countries
Claim: FDI equity flow has gone up by 47%. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-09-03): Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India jumped 47.8 per cent to $16.17 billion in April-June this fiscal on healthy inflows in services, computer, telecom and pharma sectors, according to government data. FDI inflows were at $10.94 billion in April-June 2023-24. [...] Total FDI, which includes equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital, grew by 28 per cent to $22.49 billion during the first quarter of this fiscal from $17.56 billion in April-June 2023-24, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) data showed. During the period, FDI equity inflows rose from major countries, including Mauritius, Singapore, the US, the Netherlands, the UAE, the Cayman Islands, and Cyprus. However, inflows declined from Japan, the UK, and Germany. Sectorally, inflows rose in services, computer software, hardware, telecommunication, pharma, and chemicals.

Evidence (2019-01-10): What about FDI Equity flow? The first claim is that FDI equity flow has gone up by 47%. The OECD defines FDI flows as the ‘value of cross-border transactions related to direct investment during a given period of time, usually a quarter or a year. Financial flows consist of equity transactions, reinvestment of earnings, and intercompany debt transactions. Outward flows represent transactions that increase the investment that investors in the reporting economy have in enterprises in a foreign economy, such as through purchases of equity or reinvestment of earnings. Inward flows represent transactions that increase the investment that foreign investors have in enterprises resident in the reporting economy. FDI flows are measured in USD and as a share of GDP.’ The claim is vague in terms of defining the years of comparison for FDI equity flow. Assuming that the claim refers to inflows and the years of comparison are the same as the ones for the next claim (i.e. 2013-14 and 2016-17), the percentage increase in FDI equity inflow is 79%. The FDI equity inflow in 2013-14 is USD 24.299 billion and in 2016-17 is USD 43.478 billion. Hence it is not true. If we consider different combinations of base year and comparison year, the numbers vary greatly between 40% to 77% but none of them add up to 47%. The numbers can be corroborated from different sources including the data published by Department of Industrial policy and Promotion, and answers provided in the Lok sabha on 19th March and 23rd July of 2018.

Evidence (2024-03-13): Equity flows: The power of India Regarding SAR’s equity flows, portfolio equity flows turned negative in 2022 to the tune of US$17 billion in outflows, mostly driven by India as the region’s largest economy. India has always received most of the region’s foreign direct investment (FDI), never falling below 85 percent of the region’s total since 2012. As a result, the total amount of equity flows to the region is largely determined by India. Excluding India, South Asia’s seven IDA-eligible borrowers together recorded outflows multiple times over the past decade: in 2016 (US$201 million), in 2018 (US$533 million), in 2020 (US$1 billion), and in 2021 (US$870 million).

Evidence (2024-05-31): But the landscape for FDI, once a hallmark of globalization, has been changing. Global FDI growth has stagnated since 2010, failing to keep pace with trends in merchandise trade and GDP. The bigger concern is the recent drop in flows to developing countries, given their reliance on foreign investments as a driver of growth. FDI into emerging markets (EMs) declined 9% to $841 billion in 2023, with falling or stagnating flows across most regions. Major Asian markets witnessed the largest fall of 12% last year. China reported a rare 6% drop in FDI inflows last year. Flows to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which were supposed to benefit from reshoring, declined by 16%. Despite the euphoria surrounding the Indian economy and improving ties with the West, India has also been falling out of favor and struggling to become a "plus one" country as investors diversify away from China. India saw a 47% drop in FDI inflows in 2023. Repatriation and divestment by direct investors has surged.

Evidence (2021-02-02): FDI in Canada has grown considerably since the 1980s. The stock of FDI was equivalent to 47% of Canada's GDP in 2020—almost 30 percentage points higher than in the late eightiesFootnote 3 (Box 2.1). This growth has led to debates about its impact on the Canadian economy and, more specifically, whether this investment is coming at the cost of jobs at home or, alternatively, helping to support Canadian firms' competitive position as they access new markets and resources. These are important questions, as determining the impact of FDI can have important implications for the design of investment and trade policies to promote economic growth. [...] FDI statistics are presented as a financial flow (transaction) or stock (position). FDI flows represent activities of foreign investors over a period of time (e.g. in a given year). FDI flow data also include the return on equity and debt in the form of profits and interest income to the direct investor during a specific period of time. FDI flows can be quite volatile (McNaughton, 2021)—just one large deal in a given quarter or year can have a huge impact on the flow figures for that time period. FDI stocks represent the total foreign investment at a point in time—i.e. the cumulative value of investments. FDI stock includes equity and debt (loans between companies).
Claim: FDI equity flow has gone up by 47%. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2020-06-03): As noted in the section 1.1 "Global economic, trade and investment environment", most of the global decline was associated with weak flows into developed countries. In contrast, FDI flows to Canada increased by $11 billion or 19% in 2019. CDIA was also opposite to the global trend: CDIA grew in 2019 and has been and continues to be mostly destined for developed economies. Indeed, less than 10% of CDIA stock is destined for developing countries where it is largely concentrated in countries of Central and South America (Yergeau 2019). Overall, CDIA flows rose by $37 billion or 57% in 2019, albeit after an equally important decline between 2017 and 2018. As Figure 1.5 shows, both CDIA and FDI flows can be quite volatile, since 1 or 2 large transactions can greatly influence the results for a given year. For example, the low level of FDI in 2017 was partly attributable to 2 large acquisitions by Canadian companies of foreign subsidiaries in the energy sector. These acquisitions represent divestitures (or declines in FDI flows), and yet Canadian interests were maintained in terms of production and economic activity. Excluding these 2 large transactions from the data for flows for that year means that FDI flows were approximately $45 billion—just over 30% (or about $11 billion)—higher than the reported $34 billion in official statistics.

Evidence (2024-10-09): As of September 20, 2023, the total newly registered capital, adjusted and contributed capital to buy shares and buy contributed capital of foreign investors reached approximately 20.21 billion USD, up 7.7% year-on-year. The capital generated by FDI projects was estimated at 15.91 billion USD, an increase of 2.2% over the same period in 2022. [...] As of September 20, 2023, disbursement of FDI projects were estimated at over 15.9 billion USD, up 2.2% year-on-year and up 0.9 percentage point as compared with the figure to the first eight months of this year. [...] 2. Evaluation of the FDI performance in the first nine months of 2023 - The realised capital of FDI projects increased 2.2% year-on-year 0.5 percentage points compared with the figures of the first eight month this year. The Government and the Prime Minister has drastically implemented solutions to support and remove obstacles for businesses to disburse their investment capital.

Evidence (2015-05-05): Data on the foreign direct investment (FDI) positions of American companies are also analyzed. Examining FDI data allows for an indirect investigation into the degree of profit shifting. The FDI data show that the same seven tax haven countries accounted for nearly half (47%) of the worldwide FDI position of the United States. The data also show that an increasing share of FDI is being held via holding companies. The report discusses that some of the increased use of holding companies may be tax motivated. Lastly, data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations (UN) on the location of the FDI positions of all countries indicate that profit shifting is likely an international issue. [...] Shown in Figure 3 are the 10 countries with the largest positions of U.S. FDI. American MNCs are reporting a significant share of their FDI as occurring in tax-preferred countries. The seven tax-preferred countries -- Netherlands, Luxembourg, Bermuda, Ireland, United Kingdom Caribbean Islands, Singapore, and Switzerland -- accounted for 47% of the FDI positions of American companies, compared to 24% for the three larger industrialized nations of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Perhaps most interesting is that the Netherlands, while only a fraction of the economic size, holds more American FDI than Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.20 FDI flow data (or change in FDI over a given point of time) show similar type patterns.21

Evidence (2024-01-01): Mexico is one of the emerging countries most open to foreign direct investment, the world's eleventh-largest FDI recipient. In 2022, Mexico was the second largest recipient of FDI in Latin America. According to UNCTAD's World Investment Report 2023, FDI inflows increase by 11.9% to USD 35.3 billion. In the same year, the total stock stood at USD 649.2 billion, equivalent to around 45.9% of the country’s GDP, witnessing an increase in fresh equity investment and reinvested earnings. Net cross-border M&A sales soared to USD 8.2 billion, a significant leap from the less than USD 1 billion recorded in 2021. A notable transaction included Univision Communications (United States) acquiring the media, content, and production assets of Grupo Televisa for USD 4.8 billion. The announced value of greenfield investment more than doubled, reaching USD 41 billion. Tesla (United States) has intentions to invest USD 5 billion in a manufacturing facility in Mexico. According to the latest governmental figures, investments mostly come from the United States (46.7%), Spain (13.7%), Canada (7.4%), Japan (4.6%), and Germany (4.5%). The manufacturing sector holds 47.6% of FDI stock, followed by financial services (14.6%), trade (7.5%), and mining (5.9% - data National Commission of Foreign Investments). Data from the OECD show that, in the first semester of 2023, FDI flows to Mexico totalled USD 29 billion, down from USD 31 billion recorded in the same period one year earlier.

Evidence (2024-01-22): Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to developing countries fell by 9% to $841 billion in 2023, according to UNCTAD’s latest Global Investment Trends Monitor, published on 17 January. [...] Similarly, India saw a 47% drop in FDI inflows but remained among the top five global destinations for greenfield projects. FDI Flows to members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), normally an engine of FDI growth, declined by 16%. Yet the group remained attractive for manufacturing investments with a remarkable 37% increase in greenfield project announcements in nations like Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Cambodia.

Evidence (2023-07-05): In West Africa, Nigeria saw FDI flows turn negative to -$187 million as a result of equity divestments. Announced greenfield projects, however, rose by 24% to $2 billion. Flows to Senegal remained flat at $2.6 billion. FDI flows to Ghana fell by 39% to $1.5 billion. In East Africa, flows to Ethiopia decreased by 14% to $3.7 billion; the country remained the second largest FDI recipient on the continent. FDI to Uganda grew by 39% to $1.5 billion on investment in extractive industries. FDI to Tanzania increased by 8% to $1.1 billion. [...] FDI in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa grew by 14% to $22 billion. Flows rose also in the Southern African Development Community (quadrupling, to $10 billion), the West African Economic and Monetary Union (doubling, to $5.2 billion) and the East African Community (up 9%, to $3.8 billion).

Evidence (2024-02-05): In Asia, developing economies remained nevertheless attractive destinations for greenfield projects, despite drops of FDI of 6% in China and 47% in India. Similarly, ASEAN economies saw a decline of 16% – despite a 37% increase in greenfield investments. [...] African FDI flows, meanwhile stayed stable at an estimated USD48 billion with strong engagement in Morocco, Kenya, and Nigeria. An issue seemed to have been infrastructure engagements, which dropped by more than 30% in Africa. [...] Looking ahead, UNCTAD expects a modest increase in FDI flows in 2024 with moderate inflation and tempered borrowing cost. However, geopolitical risks, and high debt levels remain a concern for global FDI flows.

Evidence (2024-04-09): New Zealand is one of only two countries in the world—the other being Denmark—with two official national anthems of equal status.[2] The traditional anthem "God Save the King" is generally used only on royal and viceregal occasions.[3] "God Defend New Zealand" is more commonly used on occasions when the national identity of New Zealand is the focus, such as sports events, where it is sung with English and Māori verses.[4] On a few occasions both anthems may be used.[2] [...] God Defend New Zealand [edit]"God Defend New Zealand" is a poem[2] that was written by Thomas Bracken in the 1870s. It was set to music and first publicly performed in 1876.[5] A Māori translation of the original English was produced in 1878 by Thomas Henry Smith.[10] In 1940 the New Zealand Government bought the copyright and made it New Zealand's 'national hymn' in time for that year's centennial celebrations. It was used at the British Empire Games from 1950 onward, and at the Olympics from 1972. Following the performance at the Summer Olympics in Munich, a campaign began to have the hymn officially adopted as a national anthem.[10] [...] - ^ "New Zealand Music Guide Book – "God Defend New Zealand" (National Anthem)". nz.com.

Evidence (2024-07-29): "God Defend New Zealand" is one of the two national anthems of New Zealand, the other being "God Save the King". It was originally a poem written by Thomas Bracken[1] in the 1870s until it was set to music by John Joseph Woods as part a competition for ten guineas in 1876. Two years later, Thomas Henry Smith wrote the lyrics in Māori—one of the country's official languages. The anthem was adopted in 1977.[2] [...] - ↑ National anthems – New Zealand's anthems.

Evidence (2023-03-05): New Zealand’s National Anthems: Full Lyrics of Māori, English Versions, History [...] God Defend New Zealand, Maori Aotearoa, one of the two national anthems of New Zealand (the other being God Save the Queen, national anthem of the United Kingdom). Thomas Bracken, who also offered a reward of £10 for the finest musical setting of his lyrics, wrote the anthem in the early 1870s. The winning tune was written by composer John J. Woods, and the resulting hymn had its debut performance in 1876. God Save the Queen had long been the official anthem of New Zealand, but in 1940 the government designated God Save New Zealand to be the national hymn or unofficial song and bought the copyright to the hymn. However, God Defend New Zealand was officially recognized as the country's second national anthem alongside God Save the Queen in 1977.

Evidence (2018-09-20): When Hinewehi Mohi was asked to sing the national anthem before New Zealand’s 1999 quarterfinal against England, she made a choice that would change the pregame ritual for good. Don Rowe reports. [...] At a sold-out Twickenham, before a quarterfinals match with England, then ‘diva-for-hire’ Hinewehi Mohi dropped the English words to ‘God Defend New Zealand’ and sung only in te reo Māori. Mohi had performed ‘E Ihowa Atuā’ at netball and league games before, but it was the first time the song had been tied so closely to the All Blacks – and all without permission from the powers that be. [...] Mohi left the field rapturous. More than 70,000 people had seen te reo inextricably linked to the nation’s greatest sportsmen in person, and around the world, the press became aware an anthem in te reo even existed at all. But as positive as the immediate reaction may have been, Mohi was soon a pariah, copping flack not from the British press but from New Zealanders at home and in the United Kingdom.
