Direct Investment by Country and Industry, 2022
The U.S. direct investment abroad position, or cumulative level of investment, increased $212.2 billion
to $6.58 trillion at the end of 2022 from $6.37 trillion at the end of 2021, according to statistics released
today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The increase reflected a $172.8 billion increase in the
position in Europe, primarily in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. By industry, manufacturing
affiliates had the largest increase.
The foreign direct investment in the United States position increased $216.8 billion to $5.25 trillion at
the end of 2022 from $5.04 trillion at the end of 2021. The increase mainly reflected a $142.2 billion
increase in the position from Europe, with the largest increases from the United Kingdom and Germany.
By industry, affiliates in manufacturing and wholesale trade accounted for the majority of the increase.

U.S. direct investment abroad (tables 1–6)
U.S. multinational enterprises (MNEs) invest in nearly every country, but their investment in affiliates in
five countries accounted for more than half of the total U.S. direct investment abroad position at the
end of 2022. The position was largest in the United Kingdom ($1.1 trillion), followed by the Netherlands
($0.9 trillion) and Luxembourg ($0.6 trillion). Ireland ($0.6 trillion) and Canada ($0.4 trillion) rounded out
the top five.
By industry of the directly owned foreign affiliate, investment was largest in holding companies, which
accounted for 47.3 percent of the overall position abroad in 2022. Manufacturing affiliates were second
largest, with 15.5 percent, and finance and insurance affiliates were third largest, with 14.0 percent, of
U.S. investment. By industry of the U.S. parent, investment by manufacturing MNEs accounted for 50.1
percent of the position, followed by MNEs in finance and insurance (14.4 percent).
U.S. MNEs earned income of $590.4 billion in 2022 on their cumulative investment abroad, a 3.6 percent
increase from 2021. Dividends, or repatriated profits, decreased $19.1 billion, or 6.1 percent, to $294.2
billion in 2022.
Foreign direct investment in the United States (tables 7–10)
By country of the foreign parent, five countries accounted for more than half of the total foreign direct
investment in the United States position at the end of 2022. Japan remained the top investing country
with a position of $712.0 billion, followed by the United Kingdom ($663.4 billion), the Netherlands
($617.1 billion), Canada ($589.3 billion), and Germany ($431.4 billion).
By country of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), the entity at the top of the global ownership chain,
Japan ($775.2 billion) remained the top investing country in terms of position at the end of 2022.
Canada ($683.8 billion) was second, and the United Kingdom ($660.6 billion) was the third-largest
investing country. On the UBO basis, investment from the Netherlands and Luxembourg was much
lower than by the country of foreign parent, indicating that much of the investment from foreign
parents in these countries was ultimately owned by investors in other countries.
Foreign direct investment in the United States was concentrated in the U.S. manufacturing sector, which
accounted for 42.4 percent of the position. There was also sizable investment in finance and insurance
(10.6 percent) and wholesale trade (9.7 percent).
Foreign MNEs earned income of $289.9 billion in 2022 on their cumulative investment in the United
States, a 1.7 percent increase from 2021.

Definitions
Direct investment is a category of cross-border investment
associated with a resident in one economy having control
or a significant degree of influence on the management of
an enterprise resident in another economy. Ownership or
control of 10 percent or more of the voting securities of an
entity in another economy is the threshold for separating
direct investment from other types of investment.
A foreign affiliate is a foreign business enterprise that is at
least 10 percent owned by a single U.S. person or entity.
A U.S. parent is a U.S. person or entity that owns 10 percent
or more of a foreign business enterprise.
A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise that is at least
10 percent owned by a single foreign person or entity.
A foreign parent is the first person or entity outside the
United States in a U.S. affiliate’s ownership chain that has a
direct investment interest in the affiliate.
The ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) is the person or
entity, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's chain of majority
ownership (where the entity above owns more than 50
percent of the entity below), beginning with the foreign
parent, that is not owned more than 50 percent by another
entity. The UBO ultimately owns or controls, and thus
ultimately derives the benefits and assumes the risks from
owning or controlling, an affiliate. The country of the UBO
is often the same as that of the foreign parent, but it may
be a different country or the United States.
The direct investment position is the value of direct
investors’ equity in, and net outstanding loans to, their
affiliates. Changes in the position result from financial
transactions and other changes, including capital gains and

losses, currency-translation adjustments, and other
changes in volume and valuation, such as adjustments to
book value from affiliates’ current sale or purchase price.
Direct investment financial transactions are financial
transactions that increase or decrease financial claims and
liabilities between the parent group and their affiliates.
Direct investment financial transactions consist of
reinvestment of earnings, equity investment other than
reinvestment of earnings, and investment in debt
instruments.
Reinvestment of earnings is an affiliate’s total earnings less
dividends paid to its parent. It represents the part of
earnings that are reinvested in the affiliate rather than
repatriated to the parent.
Equity investment other than reinvestment of earnings is
measured as the difference between equity increases and
decreases. Equity increases are transactions that result in
the parent increasing their equity interest in their affiliate.
Equity decreases are transactions that result in the parent
reducing their equity interest in their affiliate.
Debt instruments investment reflects parent group lending
to and borrowing from their affiliates.
Income earned on direct investment includes income on
equity—whether profits or losses and whether distributed
or reinvested—and net interest on debt.

Statistical conventions
BEA’s direct investment statistics are primarily based on
data reported in the Quarterly Survey of U.S. Direct
Investment Abroad (BE–577) and the Quarterly Survey of
Foreign Direct Investment in the United States (BE–605).
Both surveys are conducted by BEA.
The countries identified in this release reflect the location
of the immediate counterpart, unless otherwise noted. The
countries identified for the U.S. direct investment abroad
position may not reflect the ultimate destination of the
funds. Likewise, the countries identified for the foreign
direct investment position in United States may not reflect
the ultimate source of the funds, which is often the UBO.
The direct investment positions in this release are valued at
historical cost. Positions reflect the book value of direct
investors’ equity in, and net outstanding loans to, their
affiliates. This valuation is derived principally from the
accounting records of affiliates, which are primarily
compiled under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). This differs from the market value
measure featured in the U.S. net International Investment
Position (IIP) Accounts.

This release presents statistics on a directional basis rather
than on the asset/liability basis featured in the U.S.
International Transactions Accounts (ITAs) and the U.S. net
IIP Accounts. On a directional basis, direct investment
claims and liabilities are classified according to whether the
direct investor is a U.S. resident or a foreign resident. U.S.
direct investment abroad occurs between a U.S. parent and
its foreign affiliates. Foreign direct investment in the United
States occurs between a foreign parent and its U.S.
affiliates. On an asset/liability basis, direct investment
statistics are organized according to whether the
investment relates to an asset or liability for U.S. parents or
for U.S. affiliates of foreign parents.

Related statistics
Statistics on direct investment by country and industry are
one part of a broader set of U.S. International Economic
Accounts that, taken together, provide a comprehensive,
integrated, and detailed picture of U.S. international
economic activities.

Statistics on direct investment and multinational
enterprises (MNEs) include annual statistics on the
activities of U.S. MNEs and U.S. affiliates of foreign MNEs as
well as on new foreign direct investment in the United
States.
The IIP Accounts are released quarterly. The IIP is a
statistical balance sheet that presents the dollar value of
U.S. financial assets and liabilities with respect to foreign
residents at a specific point in time.
The ITAs are released quarterly and are a statistical
summary of economic activity between U.S. residents and
the residents of other countries.
Statistics on international services, released annually,
include detailed annual information on trade in services and
on services supplied through the channel of direct
investment by affiliates of MNEs.
U.S. international trade in goods and services, released by
BEA and the U.S. Census Bureau, provides monthly statistics
on trade in goods and services.

1. The ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) is the person or entity, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain, beginning with the foreign parent, that is not owned more than 50
percent by another entity. The UBO ultimately owns or controls, and thus ultimately derives the benefits and assumes the risks from owning or controlling, an affiliate. The country of
the UBO is often the same as that of the foreign parent, but it may be a different country or the United States.
