Spanish term or phrase: inversiones que tienen dimensión de país

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 :)

Explanation:
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

Explanation:
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!)
