indirect foreign direct investment  

Definition

  • Indirect foreign direct investments (indirect FDI) are foreign direct investments of a multinational enterprise (MNE) that are carried by a foreign subsidiary located in a third country. The MNE obtains a lasting interest in a foreign market, being the ultimate owner of the investment made, but the actual investment operation is carried out by a subsidiary located in a country that is different from its original country.
