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.

Amendments to the Mining Local Content Regulations
08 Feb 2019The Mining (Local Content) Regulations, which were passed on 8 February 2019, amend the existing rules in the following ways, among others: • While the "old" Local Content Regulations required an indigenous Tanzanian company to have at least 51% of its equity owned by Tanzanian citizens, the new rules reduce this share to 20%. • The review period by the Local Content Committee for the local content plan has been extended to 60 working days (from 25 working days previously). After receipt of the recommendations from the Local Content Committee, the Mining Commission shall communicate its decision whether or not to approve the plan to the applicant within 30 working days instead of 7 days previously.
