(Geneva: International Trade Centre)
(2022)
Abstract
This report summarizes the results of a survey. It yields important insights that should be of interest to negotiators of an Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) Agreement at the WTO, as well as to negotiators of other international investment agreements that address issues of investment facilitation. The results should also be of interest to competent FDI authorities, including investment promotion agencies and other institutions whose mandate includes the facilitation of foreign direct investment, as well as scholars who explore matters related to FDI and the increase of investment flows. The survey paid special attention to investment facilitation measures that directly increase the development impact of FDI and measures that home countries can take to encourage the flow of sustainable FDI.
