On September 5, 2006, the Columbia Program on International Investment, now the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment, partnered with the Economist Intelligence Unit, a member of The Economist Group, to publish World Investment Prospects to 2010: Boom or Backlash? – a joint publication from the World Investment Prospects annual series. This 2006 publication contains FDI-flow forecasts at the global and regional levels for 2006-2010, as well as for 82 countries. It also contains FDI data, business environment rankings and market profiles; an analysis of FDI trends and of important topical issues; and a data annex.
