Las inversiones directas Españolas en América Latina en el período 2000-2003

Resum

The direct Spanish investment follows the International flow of direct investment. They registered an important <<take off>> in the 1996-2000 period and since then has been following a descendent tendency that barely has started to change in 2004. None the less, in the last year the drastic and worrying reduction of the entrance of the foreign direct investment in Spain has assumed that the already done direct investment have come to exceed once again the once that were received. The high flow of foreign direct investment in this period was concentrated most of all in the Latin America countries, which determined that Spanish financial institutions and enterprises became the second international investors in the región, only behind of the United States.
