The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines foreign direct investment as:
"a category of cross-border investment made by a resident in one economy (the direct investor) with the objective of establishing a lasting interest in an enterprise (the direct investment enterprise) that is resident in an economy other than that of the direct investor."

- "Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) lies at the heart of globalisation and serves as an important conduit for the transfer of capital, goods, services, and information across economies.
- Measuring FDI helps us better understand how countries are interconnected and integrated into today’s global economy...
- The OECD [publishes] comprehensive and comparable FDI data as well as in-depth insights into global FDI trends to support economic analysis and inform policy decisions and enhance investment strategies."

- "The US enjoys the highest foreign direct investment in the world because, thanks to its strong economy, it has a risk/return profile that attracts foreign investors.
- US households benefit from this through higher consumption by way of trade. The US does not lose out in terms of jobs or economic growth by running a trade deficit."
