Investment Policy

UNCTAD´s Investment Policy Reviews provide an objective evaluation of the country´s legal, regulatory and institutional framework for FDI to attract increased foreign and direct investment, as well as how to maximize the benefits from it.

The review includes FDI entry and establishment, treatment and protection of investment, taxation, the business environment and sectoral regulations.

The strategic analysis is tailored to country needs. Recommendations are concrete and action-oriented.

About the Programme

The IPRs' approach and process promote ownership and learning from others:

  • It is initiated at the request of governments; the counterpart ministry or agency is involved throughout the process; it takes ownership and is advocate of the policy recommendations; and national stakeholders participate in a workshop on the findings.
  • The IPRs offer a perspective of what leaders and pioneers do and what the private sector looks for. It also includes a global perspective of FDI performance and how countries measure up as well as their policy outlook. It provides for sharing experience and knowledge through success stories and failed experiences. This includes a peer review at UNCTAD.
