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.

Limits use of CHIPS Act funds due to national security concerns
22 Sep 2023On 22 September 2023, the United States Department of Commerce released the final rule implementing the CHIPS and Science Act. The new regulations restrict recipients of funds allocated under the Act from expanding semiconductor manufacturing capacities in selected foreign countries (China, Islamic Republic of Iran, Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russian Federation) for 10 years. They also introduce limitations on the recipients' ability to establish certain joint research or technology ventures with foreign entities of concern. The rules shall enter into force on 24 November 2023.
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 introduced an incentives program via grants, cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, and other transactions to support investments in manufacturing, research and development and assembly of semiconductors. The use of funding is, however, restricted to protect national security and the resilience of supply chains.
