foreign direct investment
In a document about Franco-Japanese economic relations (3rd bullet point under second part):
LA FRANCE AU JAPON
- 670 entreprises françaises au Japon/ 37 000 emplois
- Stock d’investissement direct à l'étranger au Japon : 9 milliards €
- France 2ème investisseur étranger au Japon avec 374 millions €
- France 19ème client et 16ème fournisseur du Japon
LE JAPON EN FRANCE
- 450 entreprises japonaise en France / 57 000 emplois
- Stock d’investissement direct à l'étranger en France: 10.2 milliards €
- Japon 1er investisseur asiatique en flux en France avec 711 millions € en 2006
- Japon 13ème client et 11ème fournisseur de la France
What exactly does "en flux" refer to here? And what would be the difference between Japan's investments in France and France's investments in Japan? (see 3rd point under "La France au Japon" where "en flux" is not used).
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this for me.

investor ranked by inflows (amount invested) in 2006
here, en flux = as measured by flows in a given period, as opposed to accumulated stock of direct investments.
France's no. 2 rank in Japan may well be based on a stock measurement (Renault-Nissan must go a long way on that score), but the text does not explicitly say so.

investment flowing into...
I think perhaps the normal wording is shortened here as it's a bullet point. My take on this is "More investment flow into France from Japan than from any other Asian country, €117m in 2006". I've done a quick trawl through Google as an independent check to see if this is the case but I can't find adequate references at the moment...

As for the difference between Jap>Fr and Fr>Jap, the "flux" in the Jap>Fr bullet may be referring to flow, ie, new, investment - whereas the Fr>Jap may be referring to the total sum of investment. (Analagous to the the difference between a government's fiscal deficit in a given year (ie new debt) and its total public sector borrowing in a year, which is usually much higher.)
