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 Investment Policy Monitors and the UNCTAD-OECD Reports on G20 Measures.
In 2024, to further strengthen the quality of reporting, UNCTAD revised the methodology of monitoring investment policy measures. and revised the measures going back to 2012 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 sustainable development.

The UNCTAD's Investment Policy Monitor database include official measures affecting FDI adopted by United Nations Member States. These encompass measures explicitly targeting FDI (FDI-specific), as well as general investment measures with a clear impact on foreign investment (FDI-related). The measures are either reported directly to UNCTAD by Member States through annual surveys or identified by UNCTAD researchers through publicly accessible sources (such as government websites and specialized policy databases). The classification of measures as more or less favourable is based solely on their potential impact on investors.
Note: Measures are verified, to the fullest extent possible, by referencing government sources. The compilation of measures is not exhaustive.

Introduces a new capital investment regulation on licensing and facilities
13 Dec 2017On 13 December 2017, the Indonesian Investment Coordination Board (BKPM) issued a regulation (Reg. 13/2017) that sets out, among other things, new rules governing how to obtain investment approvals. It mainly simplifies the process of obtaining investment licenses. For example, it replaces the Principle License (in Indonesian: Izin Prinsip), which was required to start a new business, by the Investment Registration (Pendaftaran Investasi). The new regulation will take effect on (1) 2 January 2018 for the one-stop service at the central BKPM and (2) at the latest 2 July 2018, for the one-stop service at a provincial/regency/city level.
