In addition, sectoral concentration of FDI is calculated in order to measure whether foreign investment (in a certain sector) is concentrated in one or a limited number of countries, or, contrary, evenly distributed across countries. Moreover, for the same six sectors we present the results of FDI regulatory restrictiveness index to capture discrimination against foreign investment.
