Since 2014 we have included the questions of our specific direct investment survey in another survey. The latter is called IES (InformaÃ§Ã£o Empresarial Simplificada/ Simplified Corporate Information), it collects information for tax and statistical purposes and it is applied to every resident collective entity. Data is collected in a census basis since 2015 (referring to 2014 data). Due to the ECB convention (please refer to BOP/IIP Booklet available on http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/pdf/EUbopintlinvposstmeth.pdf, section 3.7.1), we do not include any data on investment funds in direct investment.
