The Foreign Direct Investment indicator reflects the total outflow of investments from Brazil to companies located abroad. If the share of the foreign ownership is equal to at least 10 percent of the value of the company, it is classified as foreign direct investment. Foreign direct investment reflects the amount of equity capital, reinvested earnings and other types of long-term and short-term capital which is indicated in the balance of payment. Higher than expected readings can affect the Brazilian real quotes positively.
