New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, 2014 and 2015
Expenditures by foreign direct investors to acquire, establish, or expand U.S. businesses totaled $420.7
billion in 2015, an increase of 68 percent from 2014, when expenditures were $250.6 billion. In 2015, as
in 2014, the majority of the expenditures were to acquire existing businesses. In 2015, expenditures for
acquisitions were $408.1 billion. Expenditures to establish new U.S. businesses were $11.2 billion, and
expenditures to expand existing foreign-owned businesses were $1.4 billion. Planned total

Newly Available Statistics
In conjunction with today’s release, BEA is introducing new statistics for 2014 and 2015 on the
activities of newly acquired, established, or expanded U.S. affiliates by state, country, and industry.
These new statistics supplement the statistics on expenditures for new investment and include
current and planned employment and balance sheet and income statement items, specifically sales,
net income, assets, liabilities, and total owner’s equity, for the affiliates. The statistics offer more
detail, including state-level detail, than similar statistics BEA produced until 2008. The new
statistics are available with the statistics on expenditures for new investment on BEA’s web site in
the interactive tables.
New investment expenditures include expenditures incurred by foreign direct investors and by existing
U.S. affiliates of foreign direct investors. The portion of new investment expenditures provided by
foreign direct investors is included in BEA’s statistics on foreign direct investment transactions. These
expenditures contribute to the foreign direct investment position in the United States, which represents
the accumulated total value of foreign direct investment, totaling $3.1 trillion (on a historical-cost basis)
at yearend 2015. However, not all of the transactions that contribute to the foreign direct investment
position are included in the statistics on new investment expenditures. The new investment data
exclude disinvestment flows and other transactions between foreign direct investors and their U.S.
affiliates that do not contribute to the acquisition, establishment, or expansion of a U.S. business.
Expenditures by industry, country, and state
Expenditures for new investment in manufacturing were $281.4 billion in 2015. As in 2014,
manufacturing accounted for more than half of total new investment expenditures. Within
manufacturing, expenditures were largest in chemicals, mostly in pharmaceuticals and medicines. There
were also large expenditures in finance and insurance, in real estate and rental and leasing, and in
professional, scientific, and technical services.
By country of ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), the largest source country was Ireland, at $176.5 billion.
There were also substantial expenditures from Canada and Germany. Of the eight largest countries in
terms of foreign direct investment position in the United States—United Kingdom, Japan, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and France—six are also among the top eight countries for
new foreign direct investment.
By U.S. state, the largest expenditures, $119.0 billion, or 28 percent of the total, were for investments in
California.
Greenfield expenditures
Greenfield investment expenditures—expenditures to either establish a new U.S. business or to expand
an existing foreign-owned U.S. business—totaled $12.6 billion in 2015. In 2014, greenfield expenditures
were $14.8 billion. Total planned greenfield expenditures for investment initiated in 2015, which
include both first-year expenditures and planned spending in other years, totaled $31.2 billion.
By industry, 2015 greenfield expenditures were largest in real estate and rental and leasing, at $6.2
billion, accounting for about half of total first-year greenfield expenditures. By U.S. state, New York

-2-

attracted the most expenditures for greenfield investment, $4.0 billion. There were also large greenfield
investments in Pennsylvania and California.
Employment by newly acquired, established, or expanded foreign-owned businesses
In 2015, employment at newly acquired, established, or expanded foreign-owned businesses in the
United States was 422,200. (Statistics on employment at expanded business only include employment
at the expanded portion of the business.) Total planned employment, which includes current
employment of acquired enterprises, the planned employment of newly established business
enterprises once they are fully operating, and the planned employment associated with new facilities,
was 461,600. Of these totals, the current employment of acquired enterprises was 418,000.
By industry, manufacturing accounted for the largest number of 2015 employees, at 139,500.
Employment was also substantial in administration, support, and waste management, and in retail
trade. By country of UBO, the largest number of employees was accounted for by Canada and France.
By U.S. state, the largest numbers of employees were in California and Arizona.

Additional Information

The statistics of new investment by foreign direct investors are based on data reported in the Survey of
New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States (BE-13) conducted by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA). The survey covers U.S. business enterprises that were acquired, established, or expanded
by foreign direct investors. Information on the filing requirements for the survey may be found at
http://www.bea.gov/surveys/respondent_be13.htm.
A U.S. business enterprise is categorized as “acquired” if a foreign entity acquires a 10 percent or more
voting interest in an incorporated U.S. business enterprise, or an equivalent interest of an
unincorporated U.S. business enterprise, either directly or indirectly through an existing U.S. affiliate. A
U.S. affiliate is a foreign-owned U.S. business enterprise. A U.S. business enterprise is categorized as
“established” if a foreign entity, or an existing U.S. affiliate of a foreign entity, establishes a new legal
entity in the United States in which the foreign entity owns 10 percent or more of the new business
enterprise’s voting interest, or an equivalent interest if unincorporated. An existing U.S. affiliate is
categorized as “expanded” if it expands its operations to include a new facility where business is
conducted.
BEA reinstated the Survey of New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States in 2014 after ending
the series after survey year 2008 due to budget cuts. The reinstated survey now includes expansions in
an effort to better capture greenfield investments. Greenfield investment includes establishments of
new companies by foreign investors and expansions of already existing companies. Because expansions
were not included in the series that ended in 2008, the current series starting with 2014 is not directly
comparable to the previous series ending in 2008.

The statistics of new foreign direct investment include transactions resulting from corporate inversions.
A corporate inversion occurs when a domestic corporation that is currently the ultimate owner of its
worldwide operations takes steps to become a subsidiary of a foreign corporation. A U.S. corporation
can initiate an inversion either by creating a foreign corporation to be its new parent or by merging with
an existing foreign corporation and ceding control. BEA’s direct investment surveys do not collect
information on whether a U.S. corporation became foreign owned as a result of a corporate inversion;
hence these transactions cannot be separately identified in the statistics based on the survey data
alone. Using publicly available information, such as commercial databases and press reports, BEA
estimates that newly inverted U.S. corporations account for approximately 20 percent of first-year
expenditures for acquisitions in 2015.
Following an inversion, the foreign parent of the inverted U.S. corporation may acquire additional U.S.
businesses – either directly, or through the inverted U.S. corporation, or through other subsidiaries. The
U.S. targets of these second round acquisitions might also be considered inverted U.S. corporations, but
these transactions cannot be readily disentangled from other changes in the consolidated U.S.
operations of the foreign parent. Therefore BEA has not attempted to identify the impact of these
second round inversions on the statistics.
The transactions associated with corporate inversions are also included in other BEA direct investment
statistics. For additional information on how corporate inversions affect BEA’s economic accounts, see
Jessica M. Hanson, Howard I. Krakower, Raymond J. Mataloni Jr., and Kate L.S. Pinard, “The Effects of
Corporate Inversions on the International and National Economic Accounts” Survey of Current Business
95 (February 2015).
Holding companies established by foreign direct investors solely for the purpose of acquiring or
establishing at least one other U.S. business enterprise are excluded from the statistics on new foreign
direct investment. A holding company is a company whose primary activity is holding the securities or
financial assets of other companies. However, acquisitions or establishments that are undertaken by a
foreign-owned U.S. holding company are included in the statistics. In addition, the statistics on new
investments do not cover the acquisition of additional equity by a foreign parent in an existing U.S.
affiliate, the acquisition of an existing U.S. affiliate by one foreign investor from another or the
expansion of an existing U.S. affiliate when no new operation or facilities are established. Sales of parts
or all of the U.S. affiliate or other disinvestments are not subtracted from new investments.
