EUR 4517 million, of which:
- EUR 4341 million – equity stakes (enterprises’ equity worth EUR 3203 million, plus reinvested earnings worth EUR 1138 million);
- EUR 176 million – net credit from foreign investors.
- FDI stock as at 31 December 2016 amounted to:
EUR 70113 million, of which:
- EUR 48964 million – equity stakes, including reinvested earnings (69.8 percent);

- Income from FDI in 2016
Net earnings from equity participation were EUR 4287 million, representing the net profit of FDI enterprises, tantamount to EUR 7410 million, less the losses incurred by loss-making FDI enterprises worth EUR 3123 million.
Net income from interest computed by subtracting from the interest received by foreign direct investors on loans granted to their enterprises in Romania – either directly or via fellow companies from the interest paid by foreign direct investors for the loans received from their enterprises in Romania – either directly or via fellow companies, stood at EUR 782 million.
