Through its investment, technology, and enterprise development programs, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) analyses the trends on the Foreign direct investment (FDI) and their result on the development.

The Inward Foreign direct investment Performance Index classifies the world economies by the foreign direct investment received in comparison to the country economic dimension (12 variables).

The Inward Foreign direct investment Performance Index represents the relation between the foreign direct investment inflows and its share in the global GDP.
