2. You are working for a company that is considering investing in a foreign country.

Management has requested a report regarding the attractiveness of alternative countries based on the potential return of FDI. Accordingly, the ranking of the top 25 countries in terms of FDI attractiveness is a crucial ingredient for your report. A colleague mentioned a potentially useful tool called the “FDI Confidence Index,”

which is updated periodically. Find this index, and provide additional information regarding how the index is constructed.
