10 Greenfield FDI projects: definition and shortcomings Greenfield FDI projects relates to investment projects that entail the establishment of new entities and the setting up of offices, buildings, plants and factories from scratch. It is a kind of working capital. Statistics on greenfield investment and extension of capacity are not generally compiled by most countries. Clear definitions and a description of the concepts and the coverage are not available. One of the difficulties in the measurement of greenfield investments is the time element, i.e. for how long a direct investment should be considered as greenfield investment. Some have indicated that an investmentwillceasetobeclassifiedasgreenfield4to5yearsafterthe initial investment. 10

11 Collecting greenfield FDI projects: the example of the United States In 2015, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released statistics on expenditures on new investments. The statistics measures foreign investors expenditures to acquire, establish, or expand U.S. businesses Greenfield investment includes expansions and establishments 11

13 Collecting greenfield FDI projects: some results 93% the expenditures were for acquisitions. Greenfield investment expenditures totaled $16.6 billion. Total planned greenfield expenditures (including first and other years) reached $39 billion; compared with announced greenfield investment ($68 billion) By industry, real estate was the largest industry($4.7 billion) By country of UBO, the largest source of first-year greenfield expenditures was Canada at $4.0 billion.
