1 hr confidence: 
investment flowing into... Explanation: I think perhaps the normal wording is shortened here as it's a bullet point. My take on this is "More investment flow into France from Japan than from any other Asian country, €117m in 2006". I've done a quick trawl through Google as an independent check to see if this is the case but I can't find adequate references at the moment... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-11-13 20:09:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As for the difference between Jap>Fr and Fr>Jap, the "flux" in the Jap>Fr bullet may be referring to flow, ie, new, investment - whereas the Fr>Jap may be referring to the total sum of investment. (Analagous to the the difference between a government's fiscal deficit in a given year (ie new debt) and its total public sector borrowing in a year, which is usually much higher.) |

2 hrs confidence:
investor ranked by inflows (amount invested) in 2006 Explanation: here, en flux = as measured by flows in a given period, as opposed to accumulated stock of direct investments. France's no. 2 rank in Japan may well be based on a stock measurement (Renault-Nissan must go a long way on that score), but the text does not explicitly say so. |
