Committee� Technical work conducted by the OECD experts of the
3
Workshop of International Investment Statistics (of the Investment Committee)

OECD Benchmark Definition
� Objectives are to provide– a single point of reference for FDI statistics;– clear guidance for individual countries – international standards considering the effects of
4
– international standards considering the effects of globalisation;
– the basis for a comparable international economic analysis – an objective basis to identify methodological differences
across countries– practical guidance to users of FDI statistics– FDI as measures of globalisation

OECD Benchmark Definition, 4th editions
� Guiding principles for the revision
1. Need to consider evolving user requirements
5
2. Need for clarity
3. Need for continued international co-ordination to achieve harmonised standards (BPM, SNA, HEGI, MSTS, etc)
![Page 6: Benchmark Definition of FDI, 4 edition (BMD4) OECD revises](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060317/6294aabe618bb373ed077274/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Benchmark Definition, 4th edition
� Main features– Consistency with IMF BPM6– Clarification of concepts to avoid mis-interpretations– Preserving reasonable degree of historical continuity
6
– Preserving reasonable degree of historical continuity– New concepts, breakdowns responding to user needs– New sections: uses, globalisation– Glossary– Transparent revision process– Research agenda
![Page 7: Benchmark Definition of FDI, 4 edition (BMD4) OECD revises](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060317/6294aabe618bb373ed077274/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
OECD Benchmark Definition, 4th edition
� What do we want to measure?� Traditional FDI series - do they meet user needs?� New challenges developing meaningful presentations of FDI
1) Are we treating pass-through funds and capital in transit properly?
7
capital in transit properly?2) Is it useful to improve the directional principle?3) How can we obtain FDI by type?
– (M&As, greenfields, extension of capital, financial restructuring)
3) FDI according to ultimate investing/ultimate host country
4) Research agenda
