China Overseas Finance Inventory Database

When analyzing debt investment amounts, users should be aware of the difference between loan commitment and actual disbursement. Our database records the loan commitment for a certain year and not actual disbursement. The investment amount should only provide a rough picture of where Chinese companies are investing and not how much their exact portion is.

In this version of the database, all equity investment amounts are missing. This is because the equity amount is either missing or estimated in the source databases.
