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.

Dubai Executive Council slashes some administrative fees
06 Jun 2018On 6 June 2018, the Dubai Executive Council approved a stimulus plan to reduce the cost of doing business. The new policy aims to slash "market fees" imposed by Dubai Municipality from 5 per cent to 2.5 per cent, in addition to scrapping 19 fees related to the aviation industry, as Dubai aims to attract foreign investments worth more than AED 1 billion in the aviation sector. The Council also directed the Land Department to waive late payment fees on property registration imposed by the Dubai Land Department for 60 days - which used to be 4 per cent.
