BEA Announcement: Changes to the New FDI News Release and Related Data Tables

SUITLAND, Md. – The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ ongoing modernization and streamlining of news release packages will include changes in the presentation of tables in the July 11 release, "New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, 2024."

Data previously published as tables within the annual news release on new foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States will continue to be updated and available simultaneously with the release in BEA’s online Interactive Data. However, tables will no longer be included in the body of the news release.

This will reduce duplication, increase efficiency, and point data users directly to our most complete and flexible data tables, via links in the release. These customizable tables include full time series and can be downloaded as PDFs, in Excel, or in CSV format.

Additionally, some data tables previously produced alongside the news release will be discontinued on July 11 due to resource constraints.  

The new FDI in the United States tables to be discontinued, currently available in the Interactive Data, cover:

  • Total sales of new affiliates
  • Net income of new affiliates
  • Balance sheets of new affiliates

BEA will continue to publish the tables on investment expenditures and employment of new affiliates, as well as the number of investments. Discontinued tables will be archived.
