<p>The Department for Business and Trade does not publish value and type information
in the annual foreign direct investment publication at sector level due to data availability
and confidentiality issues.</p><p> </p><p>As there are gaps in the completeness of
the value information across projects across sectors, DBT excludes value information
to the publication. The impact of these gaps is greater when the data is divided into
specific sector areas. However, at an aggregate level it is possible to add value
related data.</p><p> </p><p>Additional breakdowns describing the type or nature of
an investment increase the opportunity to identify individual companies, to which
DBT offer full confidentiality.</p>
