Abstract: Abstract Since the Spanish government gradually eliminated the restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) by Spanish enterprises, between 1977 and 1992, Spanish FDI has reached significant proportions, making Spain the twelfth home country for FDI in the world in 2000 by stock. The ‘position’ or ‘stock’ of Spanish FDI abroad grew from US$1,931 million in 1980 to US$15,652 million in 1990, and to US$160,202 million in 2000 (see Table 12.1). This meant an increase of 8,294 per cent in this twenty-year period, the fifth largest percentage growth among the top home economies in the world (see Table 12.2).
