I am currently conducting a research regarding the effect of an FTA formation on the FDI of the FTA member states (which include ASEAN countries). I have read that people used to be able to find bilateral FDI data ranging from 2001 to 2012 from UNCTAD, but I cannot find the data anywhere on the UNCTAD FDI database website now. Where can I find this data? Could anyone share this data with me?
P.S. I know OECD and IMF also provide some bilateral FDI data, but ASEAN countries are not in the OECD, and the IMF data begins from 2009, which make them not helpful to me.

Check if this will be of any help to you as I accessed it recently.
Dear @Onyebuchi, thank you for your response.
I know about the link. Although it says the database is "bilateral" FDI database on flows and stocks, once you actually access it, there is no bilateral data to be found in there. It only shows aggregated FDI data from one country in each year; so, not bilateral.
If there are ways to actually access bilateral data from the link (i.e., data showing how much of one country's inward FDI stocks are from another), please tell me how it is done, as I am missing it completely.
I checked out Dada Issac's suggestion. Seems to work and gives some useful information. Thanks, Sir.
