Notes:
1. Changes of asset ownership between one foreign company and another foreign company are not identified; and the commencement date is the date of the first known overseas investment.
2. It is possible for an overseas company first established in Wales by direct new investment to have subsequently expanded by means of acquisition of existing assets.
