Overview

The AMNE database presents detailed data on the activities of foreign affiliates in OECD countries (inward and outward activity of multinationals). The data indicate the increasing importance of foreign affiliates in the economies of host countries, particularly in production, employment, value added, research and development, labour compensation, exports. AMNE contains 17 variables broken down by country of origin (inward investment) or location (outward investment) and by industrial sector for a large number of OECD countries.

AMNE is based on data reported to OECD and Eurostat in the framework of annual surveys on the activtties of foreign-controlled enterprises and foreign affiliates abroad controlled by residents of the compiling country.
