Participation in the CDIS let to improve the statistics of direct investment and extend the coverage of the sample of firms surveyed, while allowing initiate action to move towards the adoption of new concepts, definitions and measurements given by the VI Balance of Payments Manual. The main changes are caused by the inclusion of information from companies known as "fellows enterprises", in addition to the direct investor and the incorporation of the category of reserves in the form of direct investment.
