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.

Algeria
Establishes the terms and conditions for granting State-owned land for investment projects
15 Nov 2023On 15 November 2023, Algeria enacted Law No. 23-17, , establishing the guidelines for allocating State-owned land for investment projects, with the primary objective of promoting and streamlining investment endeavors. This legislation grants authority to the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) to grant concessions for investment projects on State-owned land, in accordance with criteria outlined by regulatory mechanisms, for an initial duration of 33 years, with the possibility of renewal.
State-owned land encompasses developed areas within industrial zones, business parks, and newly established towns. It explicitly excludes agricultural land, land situated within mining perimeters, and regions within hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation perimeters.
The AAPI collaborates closely with the Walis (administrative region governors) to assess the eligibility of investment proposals for access to economic land, taking into account the specific nature of activities aligned with the established objectives.
Any natural or legal entity, whether national or foreign, residing within or outside Algeria, seeking to avail themselves of the provisions outlined in Law 23-17, is obligated to submit their application exclusively through the digital investor platform administered by the AAPI.
