The discrepancy between Japan’s accounting of U.S. FDI into Japan and U.S. accounting of that FDI can be attributed to methodological differences, specifically with regard to indirect investors, profits generated from reinvested earnings, and differing standards for which companies must report FDI.

A glaring omission from the International Monetary Foundation’s (IMF) report on inward direct investment to Namibia is China’s contribution, which the Bank of Namibia reports as 42.4% of the total in 2021 and 39.5% in 2020. China is included in the Bank of Namibia’s report but is omitted from the IMF reports. The Embassy assesses that China’s investment in Namibia is increasing not decreasing. Notorious tax haven British Virgin Islands is a notable top destination for inward direct investment sources into Namibia. There are some other discrepancies between the information reported in the IMF report and the Bank of Namibia’s report, such as the inclusion of Botswana in 2020.

Significant discrepancies can be noted between the local and the USG statistical sources in terms of U.S. FDI in Paraguay for 2020. UNCTAD total inbound of FDI as a percentage of Paraguay’s GDP differs less than two percent when compared to Paraguay’s local statistics. However, if compared to other international statistics, such as the World Bank and the IMF, the relation between total inbound stocks of FDI as a percentage of Paraguay’s GDP is consistent with local statistics.
