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.

Ukraine
Broadens the application of state support to a wider spectrum of investors
17 Sep 2023On 9 August 2023, the Parliament of Ukraine amended Law No. 1116-IX ,“On State Support for Investment Projects with Significant Investments in Ukraine”, expanding benefits for a broader range of investors to enhance the investment climate. The revised criteria for project support include a reduced minimum investment of 12 million Euro (from the previous 20 million Euro), a maximum 5-year implementation period, state support capped at 30 per cent of the total investment, and the creation of a minimum of 50 new jobs with above-average salaries. Notably, investors can now enter into an Agreement for a current project if they have already invested, up to 30 per cent of the total planned investment amount. The eligible sectors for investment projects have expanded to encompass electronic communications and the production of biogas and biomethane (including liquefied or compressed forms). The State provides support both to Ukrainian and foreign investors through tax benefits, exemption from import duties, land use rights, infrastructure construction, and reimbursement of costs associated with connecting and integrating the necessary engineering and transportation facilities for the execution of the investment project. The revised law entered into force on 17 September 2023.
