FDI as a percentage of GFCF provides an indication of the percentage of a country’s fixed capital investment that takes place across versus within international borders. FDI and portfolio equity flows are measured using a three-year moving average because these flows tend to be especially volatile. Year-to-year fluctuations in such metrics tend to reflect macroeconomic conditions and merger waves more than long-lived changes in levels of connectedness. For the measurement of the depth of services trade, only commercial services are included; government services are excluded. BREADTH measures how closely a country’s distribution of international flows across its partner countries matches the global distribution of the same flows in the opposite direction. The breadth of a country’s merchandise exports, for example, is measured based on the difference between the distribution of its exports across destination countries versus the rest of the world’s distribution of merchandise imports. As the focus in breadth is on the geographical distribution of the flows, the absolute value of FDI flows is considered when calculating breadth, instead of the directional (positive or negative) flows. This eliminates the possibility of there being anomalous results in some countries’ results, for example due to a large negative value caused by a repatriation of flows, which is better captured in depth than breadth. To elaborate how this metric works, compare the breadth of the Netherlands’ merchandise exports versus those of Switzerland and Syrian Arab Republic. The Netherlands ranks 45th globally on this metric, and Switzerland and Syria are the top and bottom ranked countries on this metric respectively. Figure 5.1 juxtaposes each of these countries’ distributions of merchandise exports by destination against the distribution of the rest of the world’s merchandise imports. To make the charts easier to read, only the top 30 importers are shown in each pair. Notice how Switzerland’s exports most closely resemble world imports, the Netherlands’ bear fairly close resemblance,
