Definitions:

The U.S. Direct Investment Position on a historical-cost basis measures the value of the net accumulated stock of capital that U.S. Parents have provided to their foreign affiliates.

Equity capital outflows occur when a U.S. parent company increases its equity investment in one of its existing foreign affiliates or makes a new equity investment in a foreign business enterprise.

Capital inflows (-) occur when a U.S. parent reduces its equity interest in an existing affiliate.

* Less than $ 500,000.
