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.

Cambodia
Defines new investment incentives and aftercare services
26 Jun 2023On 26 June 2023, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) issued the ‘Sub-decree of 2021 Investment Law’, which comprises seven chapters and 28 articles. The primary focus of the decree is to outline the incentives available for various types of investments. To achieve this, the decree introduces a classification for Qualified Investment Projects (QIPs) into three distinct categories. The durations of the tax incentives span nine years, six years, and three years, contingent upon the specific category to which a QIP belongs.
Notably, Category 1 encompasses 37 investment activities qualifying for the maximum tax incentive duration of nine years. Meanwhile, Category 2 incorporates 65 investment activities eligible for tax incentives spanning six years, and Category 3 is comprised of 32 investment activities that can garner three years of incentives.
Additionally, investment aftercare services have been given due recognition in the sub-decree and CDC is to be the coordinating agency for these services.
