| Definitions |
This indicator demonstrates availability and implementation of the country’s investment promotion regimes at the national level. |
| Concepts |
Instruments used in investment promotion regimes include investment guarantees, financial or fiscal support for external investors, and international investment agreements between the investor’s home and host country. In addition to these legal instruments, countries often also provide information and other advisory services to their external investors. An investment guarantee is insurance offered by home governments or other institutions to investors to protect them from certain political risks in their host countries, such as the risk of discrimination, expropriation, transfer restrictions or contract violations. An international investment agreement is an agreement between two or more countries to promote and protect investments made by investors from one country in the other country, which obliges the host government to provide certain standards of treatment and protection to foreign investors (nationals and companies from another country) and their investments. |
| Rationale and interpretation |
Target 17.5 is focused on adoption and implementation of investment promotion regimes for least developed countries. In order to achieve target 17.5, it is necessary to identify and implement investment promotion regimes that can directly benefit a developing country. Investment promotion regimes can be defined as instruments that are directly aimed at encouraging foreign investment, whether external or domestic, through specific investment measures in the home or host country. |
