What if the UEFA European Championship was decided by FDI projects instead of football prowess? 
  

Imagine if the 2016 UEFA European Championship (Euro 2016) was determined by the number of inward FDI projects since Euro 2012, won by Spain.

Using crossborder investment monitor fDi Markets we are predicting the winners of each round of fixtures - from the round of 16 - leading to the Euro 2016 final. We’ll do this by analysing the participating country's respective FDI inflows over the past 4 years.
