2.10. Macro-economic analysis of survey findings

Table 16 shows some key analytical ratios of foreign assets and liability flows and stocks. In terms of flows, FDI became increasingly important as a source of investment funds rising from 16.0 percent of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) in 2009 to 28.0 percent in 2012; an average growth of 23.8 percent per year. The ratio FDI/GFCF shows the contribution of FDI in country‘s financing of capital formation. The importance of FDI to the economy is also shown by the increasing share of FDI stocks to GDP during the last four years, growing from 7.1 percent in 2009 to 17.4 percent in 2012.
The share of debt stock to GDP shows a similar increasing trend from 3.6 percent in 2009 to 6.8 percent in 2012. However, despite the rise in the share of debt stock to GDP, the ratio of debt service to debt stock fell from 11.1 percent in 2009 to 5.8 percent in 2012 showing dominance of long term loans of more than 90%.
