A specific regulatory structure and proactive policies succeeded in attracting FDI in the manufacturing sector, which added to existing productive capacity, increased productivity and supported the technological upgrading of local productive capacities, even though the country’s exports continued to have a relatively high import content, particularly of technology-intensive parts and components (TDR 2006: 186-189). This is why the growth of manufactured exports that has accompanied their participation in these networks has not always been matched by comparable increases in value added and employment. Note: FDI data refer to outflows for developed countries and to inflows for developing countries and countries in Eastern Europe. Data for China refer to 2000-2010. Several reasons can explain this diversity.
