Given that the State definition of “U.S. investment” is extremely narrow, these figures are often understated. In 2014, AmCham conducted its own analysis of Central Trade Registry data in an effort to identify trends in U.S. investment in the country. In order to do this, AmCham requested data on companies that were fully or partially owned by U.S. citizens and were operational in Macedonia during the 2006-13 period. The following graphics summarize our findings. Main conclusion: there has been a generally upward trend in the number of organizations fully or partially owned by U.S. citizens operating in the country since 2006. There was a slight reversal of this trend during 2009/10. When comparing 2013 with 2006 levels, one observes a 46% increase overall. 17
