"Figure 2a: UK trends in outward FDI implied rates of return between 2014 and 2018 were most similar to Poland and Italy","" "Implied rate of return on outward FDI by country compared with the UK, index","" "","" "Notes","1. Office for National Statistics directional statistics were used for UK values. 2. Each country included in this Figure had an incomplete time series for years between 2011 and 2013, so we used 2014 to 2018 instead. 3. Sufficient information was available for Iceland, Republic of South Korea and Turkey between 2014 and 2018. However, the index values were very high relative to the UK and other countries, making them harder to interpret. The trend in the overall implied rate of return for all three countries was not similar to that of the UK. 4.
