Investment Map is a web-based tool that helps Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) assess which
sectors in their countries have successfully attracted Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) and it assists them in the process of prioritizing sectors for investment
promotion. It also helps IPAs identify the competing countries for foreign
investment and the most active investing countries in specific sectors.
Moreover, information on domestic affiliates of international companies enables
enterprises to find local links to global supply chains.
Investment Map is not only an FDI tracking tool that offers top-line aggregate figures, but
also supplies FDI sector and country breakdowns. Furthermore, it combines
information on investment flows and stocks, trade and tariff data, and
activities of foreign affiliates under the UN ISIC rev 3 nomenclature.
Investment Map provides direct links to other databases, such as the World
Investment Directory, Market Access Map and Trade Map, for a complete market
assessment.
Investment Map includes:
- Total FDI flows and
stocks for around 200 countries and territories
- FDI flows and stocks,
broken down by industry and/or country for more than 115 countries
- Export and import data and indicators of trade performance for around 227
countries and territories
- Tariff data applied by 187 countries and
faced by 200 exporting countries and territories
- Information on the
location, sales, employment and parent company for over 150,000 foreign
affiliates located in developing countries and economies in transition
A limited version of Investment Map is accessible without registration
for the sector and country breakdown of FDI flows and stocks:

Investment Map is part of a suite of ITC developed Market Analysis Tools, free to all users thanks to support from the European Commission (EC) and other donors to ITC’s Trust Fund. The
tools – Trade Map, Market Access Map, Investment Map and Standards Map –
collectively help improve international trade transparency and enable companies
and trade support institutions to identify export / import opportunities and
compare market access requirements (e.g. tariffs, official market regulations
and other non tariff measures as well as private voluntary standards like
organic certification or FAIRTRADE). The tools also help trade policymakers
monitor national trade performance and prepare for trade negotiations.
Free user support material, including video trainings, is also
available online.
