• IM&A is not directly comparable to FDI, but the correlations between the series makes it useful for projections;
• The level of fineness in IM&A allows us to look to trends that don’t come out in FDI series;
• Big differences between IM&A can provide clues for patterns or trends that might signal areas in need of further analysis.
