- Abstract
The present paper differentiates the bilateral investment flows into the cross-countries FDI flows and the mutual bilateral FDI flows. The latter presumes deep and significant investment linkages between the pair of countries. The study introduces the indicators and criteria of the mutual bilateral FDI flows which provides detailed picture of the bilateral investment relationship. The results suggest that the bilateral Russian-Chinese FDI flows were not mutual for the period 2014-2019. The study reveals the inadequacy of official bilateral FDI flows statistics and advocates the usage of ultimate recipient country FDI statistics for the examination of the bilateral investment relationship. That together with the usage of introduced indicators of the mutual FDI flows will provide a more accurate and precise snapshot of the bilateral investment relationship of any pair of countries. The introduced indicators provide the tool for such evaluations but dependent FDI flows ultimate investor data are required for the additional insights into the investment cooperation policymaking.
