Investment Policy Monitor
-
UNCTAD has been collecting information on changes in national foreign direct investment (FDI) policies on an annual basis since 1992. This collection has provided input to the analysis of global and regional investment policy trends in the World Investment Report, the quarterly Investment Policy Monitor (since 2009) and the UNCTAD-OECD Reports on G20 Measures.
In 2011, to further strengthen the quality of reporting, UNCTAD revised the methodology of monitoring investment policy measures. and revised the measures going back to 2000 accordingly.
The Investment Policy Monitor provides the international investment community with country-specific, up-to-date information about the latest developments in foreign investment policies.
Through its monitoring of investment policy changes, UNCTAD offers cutting-edge and innovative contributions to investment policy discourse, and contributes to preparing the ground for future policymaking in the interest of making foreign investment work for growth and development.

Measures to liberalize entry to the Hotel Sector
20 Jan 2014Dubai has introduced a series of reforms aimed at making it easier to set up hotels in the emirate. The Government cut the length of the pre‑approval process by two-thirds for private developers to build hotels. It shortened the approval process from up to six months to two months. Fees relating to the use of land were also scrapped. It gave an exemption from the 10% Dubai municipality fee to any three- or four‑star hotel that begins operating before June 2017. It also pledged to allocate government land and provide additional incentives for the development of three- and four‑star hotels.
