Hi, I would appreciate your help with this term.
Context isn't much, but I think it is saying that the size of the investment would be equivalent to a size which a country would handle. The rest fo the context is just political talk that has nothing to do with these investments
"Son inversiones que tienen dimensión de país."
Thanks :)

investments the size of a country
t doesn't make much sense to me in either language, but this is the translation!
Note from asker:
| thanks:) It's a quote from a politician, maybe that's why it doesn't make sense ? ;) |
| I have thought something along the line of "the size of an investment a country would handle" |

Spanish term (edited):
inversiones que tienen dimensión de país
investments comparable in magnitude (size) to the economies of some countries
Something appears to be missing in the Spanish to make full sense, but a possible reading could be this. However, it is probably little more than a guess.

investments that rely on country-specific fluctuations
I've translated the exact term "dimensión de país" as "country-specific fluctuations" in the past. And got very good feedback from the client on that occasion (which is rare!)
