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.

Argentina
Adopts new incentives for investment in the automotive sector
14 Jun 2023On June 14, 2023, the Government of Argentina, through Decree 201/2023, introduced a new promotion scheme for the importation of select unassembled vehicles. This initiative is designed to streamline the importation process for specific categories of unassembled vehicles, with the primary aim of encouraging fresh investments in the automotive sector by reducing import tariffs on these particular vehicle types.
Under this regime, designated unassembled vehicles can be imported with the intention of integrating their components with locally manufactured counterparts. Additionally, the Secretary of Industry has been entrusted with the responsibility of verifying the absence of local production for vehicles falling within the same category in Argentina.
