Irish stocks of direct investment abroad increased to €815bn at the end of 2015 from a stock position of €510bn at the end of 2014.This increase continues to be driven by the Redomiciled PLCs in Ireland - see background note. The end 2015 stock of direct investment abroad comprised of Equity Capital & Reinvested Earnings of €729bn and Other Capital of €86bn. The rise between the end of 2014 and the end of 2015 was largely due to increased investment in enterprises located in Luxembourg (€240bn) and the US (€48bn). Further investment in Europe went to enterprises located in UK (€11bn), the Netherlands (€6bn) and offshore centres (€5bn) while Investment in Central American offshore centres decreased (€38bn) - see Table 3
The stock of foreign direct investment into Ireland also increased between the end of 2014 and the end of 2015 - from €343bn to €796bn. The main contributors were increased investment from the US (€349bn), from Luxembourg (€69bn), the Netherlands (€11bn) and from all offshore centres (€38bn) - see Table 4.
The net FDI asset position for Ireland at the end of 2015 was a surplus of €20bn, down €148bn from the net position at the end of 2014.
In line with International recommendations the geographic allocation of direct investment flows and stocks in Tables 1 to 9 is based on the country of location of the immediate owner of the direct investment enterprise.
An alternative presentation of the stock of direct investment in Ireland by ultimate investor displays a different geographic pattern. Figure 2 measures the value of investment stock in Ireland by location of the immediate owner (of the direct investment enterprise). Figure 3 measures the value of investment stock in Ireland by location of the ultimate investor. In 2015, the stock of investment from the US as ultimate investor at €581bn was €215bn greater than the stock of US investment presented by immediate owner (€367bn). Investment stock from Ireland as ultimate investor at €105bn primarily represents former US-based corporate inversion enterprises which are now located in Ireland - see Figure 3.

The Foreign Direct Investment release updates the annual statistical series on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows and end-year stocks (or positions) for Ireland, broken down geographically by region and by country. The release includes tables with further analyses of the FDI flows and stocks presented by the principal economic activity (using NACE Rev.2 classification) of the resident direct investment enterprise. The statistics are methodologically consistent with the data already presented in the quarterly balance of payments and IIP releases. The statistics are also compatible with those supplied to Eurostat and the European Central Bank (ECB) and to other international organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
