Figures for FDI were even more dramatic.

This figure is based on data on outward FDI stocks provided by the home countries.

39. In the low data rate mode, data can be transmitted directly to ground stations using X band frequency.

They enter the queue, they just zip right out.

It created a new website dedicated to FDI and TNC statistics (www.unctad.org fdistatistics), a site of comprehensive and integrated data sets on FDI and operations of TNCs, drawn from UNCTAD's database on FDI and TNCs.

Data in this section are based on an estimation using FDI flow data available as of December 2004.

The aim is to automate the verification of data, calculate entitlements and update data electronically and import the data directly into the human resources management and payroll system.

In both cases, FDI from developing countries is likely to be underestimated in the case of the figure based on outward data ( 859 billion), outward FDI stock may not be fully reported by some offshore financial centres and in that of the figure based on inward data ( 877 billion), information on the sources of FDI is not available for those centres.

Quantitative and qualitative information about technology can not be directly derived from the data.

International organizations have begun the process of extracting data directly from countries' database systems through the Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX).

The types of data available and their advantages and deficiencies in view of policy makers' needs, especially in developing countries

The use of a questionnaire is an appropriate way to gather data directly from countries.

3. It should be noted that the data are not directly comparable.

If inward FDI stock data from recipient countries are used, the value of South South FDI is higher, at least about 700 billion.

But if you look at it directly, it's just a lot of numbers and disconnected facts.

Administrative information can be used either directly for production of statistical data or for the verification of already compiled aggregates as well as for filling gaps of data missing in statistical surveys.

OECD, for example, directly downloads the requisite industrial statistics via the Internet from databases maintained by countries.

Under that system, users with a password given from the registry had direct access to the registry apos s data base through a personal computer and could enter data and search the record of the registry directly.

The Department of Statistics does not publish annual flow data on outward FDI from Singapore.

a Owing to the lack of data on OFDI by SMEs, the authors constructed a database which classified OFDI by firm size by merging firm names from the Prowess database of the Centre for Monitoring the Indian Economy with information from government sources and the dataset from the Research and Information System for the Non Aligned and Other Developing Countries (RIS).

Through such a unit, each centre will have direct linkages with existing relevant global data centres.

Item 3 FDI data compilation and policy formulation in developing countries

As of November 2004, FDI data covered about 80 countries while trade data covered some 150 countries.

The sector's share of OFDI consistently increased in 1990 2003.

The data are provided either as an original film, a copy of the negative, print, digital data on magnetic media or a computer ready compact disc.

(a) Statistics on macroeconomic data, industrial sectors, energy consumption and foreign direct investment were compiled for the Asia Pacific region.

The Esrange facility, which has been receiving and processing Landsat data on behalf of ESA since 1978, receives SPOT data on behalf of Spotimage, France.

The estimate of 400 billion of outward stock of South South FDI is based on home country data.

Putting measures in place to prevent the direct or indirect disclosure of data on persons, households, businesses and other individual respondents

If inward FDI stock data from the host economy are used, the value of FDI stock from developing countries is somewhat higher ( 877 billion).

As indicated, detailed outward FDI data reported by home developing countries are limited.

Data on outward FDI by SMEs are still very limited.
