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.

Indonesia
Releasing "Positive List" of Investment
04 Mar 2021On 4 March 2021, Presidential Regulation 10 of 2021 on business fields open to investment (‘positive investment list’) came into effect. It replaces Presidential Decree No.36/2010 (‘negative investment list’). Presidential Regulation 10 of 2021 is part of Indonesia’s ongoing economic reforms through the Omnibus Law. The general principle under the positive investment list is that a business sector is open to 100 percent foreign investment unless it is subjected to a specific type of limitation. Indonesia has classified business fields into four categories. 1. Priority sectors – 245 business lines open for foreign investment; 2. Business fields that stipulate specific requirements or limitations — 46 business lines open; 3. Businesses fields open to large enterprises, including foreign investors, but are subject to a compulsory partnership with cooperatives and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) — 51 business lines open; and 4. Business fields reserved for cooperatives and MSMEs (not open to foreign investment) — 112 business lines. Important sectors that had previous foreign ownership restrictions, which have now been lifted include, among others: (1) telecommunications; (2) transportation; (3) energy; (4) distribution; and (5) construction services.
