<p>The Department for International Development (DFID) relies on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for data on UK private investment overseas. Part 3 of the UK Balance of Payments (the Pink Book) publishes a geographical breakdown of income balances and is available online for the period 2007-11 at:</p><p>http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/bop/united-kingdom-balance-of-payments/2012/index.html</p><p>Full estimates cannot be made for the amount of private investment from the UK in each of the last five years because the ONS does not provide a further systematic breakdown for all developing countries. Further illustrative data on foreign direct investment by individual UK companies to major developing country economies for the same period can also be accessed via the ONS website at:</p><p>http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/search/index.html?pageSize=50&newquery=foreign+direct+investment</p>
