About the Study: 
The FDI Confidence Index® is constructed using primary data from a proprietary survey administered to senior executives of the world's leading corporations. Respondents include C-level executives and regional and business heads. The 302 participating companies represent 28 countries and 
span all industry sectors. All companies report global revenue of more than $500 million, and two-thirds report more than $1 billion. 
To reflect the increasing influence of emerging markets 
in FDI decision making, more than one-third of respondents' companies are headquartered in developing countries. 

The survey was conducted in October and November 2012.
