N.B.: The Bank of Slovenia (BoS), in its official data, lists U.S. FDI at approximately EUR 72 million in 2018, or 0.5 percent of total inward FDI. However, this amount does not reflect significant investments by U.S. firms not listed as U.S. in origin by the BoS, as U.S. funds are often routed through third-country subsidiaries. In 2017, the BoS began reporting FDI according to the ultimate investing country or originating country of capital. It estimated that USD 1.75 billion (EUR 1.48 billion euros) or 9.8 percent of Slovenia’s total FDI originated in the United States in 2018, putting the United States behind only Austria and Germany as a source of foreign investment in Slovenia.

Comment: IMF data are consistent with Bank of Slovenia data.
Note: The Bank of Slovenia has made an additional breakdown of inward FDI according to the ultimate source of capital. It shows that Germany, the United States, Japan, the Russian Federation, and Mexico are all much more important investor countries in Slovenia than is suggested by the breakdown by the immediate partner country. The U.S. ranks third with 1.48 billion euros (USD 1.68 billion) in 2018.
