The changing headquarters landscape for Fortune Global 500 companies - updated for 2018 (BNA)

The location of headquarters for the Fortune Global 500 (FG500), the 500 largest corporations by revenue in the world, has shifted significantly in recent years. FG500 companies headquartered in the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and the U.S.), for example, declined from 420 in 2000 to 277 in 2018. A significant driver of the change in headquarters locations for the FG500 is the growing presence of China, according to this November 14, 2018 article in Bloomberg BNA's Daily Tax Report.

The article, authored by Robert Carroll, James Mackie and Brandon Pizzola of EY's Quantitative Economics and Statistics group, and attached below, provides additional details on the factors behind this changing landscape.
