China's outward FDI flows along BRI countries 2013-2023

* 2022 and 2023 figures for countries along the BRI calculated by Statista based on the 2021 definition of participating countries. 

** Countries along the BRI refers to a selection of main BRI participating countries used in official statistics in China until 2021. This selection did not include all countries participating in the BRI (around 142 in 2021), but only a selection of participating countries which were located along major trade routes of the BRI (63 in 2021).

*** All BRI participating countries refers to all countries that had signed the Memorandum of Understanding of the BRI in that specific year. Since 2022, official Chinese statistics on BRI countries commonly refer to this broader term of BRI countries. As of December 2023, around 150 countries had signed the BRI MoU.

Figures for earlier years have been taken from previous publications.
