In 2002, services accounted for about 55 per cent of the total stock of inward FDI in developing countries and some 85 per cent of outward FDI stock for developing countries.

This significant rise in the number of OFDI projects contributed to a 177 times increase in Indian OFDI stock, from 0.037 billion in 1976 to 6.6 billion in 2004 (figure 2).
