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.

Introduces tax credits for investments in green energy projects
30 Dec 2023On 30 December 2023, the Government of France published Law 2023-1322 of 29 December 2023 on finances for 2024, which introduces a tax credit for investments in the production of batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, and heat pumps. The tax credit, ranging from 20 to 60 per cent depending on the size of the company and the location of the investments, applies to investment projects with authorization applications submitted on or after September 27, 2023, and granted approval by December 31, 2025. The tax credit would be calculated on the basis of tangible investments (buildings, facilities, equipment, machinery and land necessary for the operation of such equipment) and intangible investments (patent rights, licences, know-how or other intellectual property rights), subject to compliance with certain conditions. The tax credit scheme is contingent upon confirmation by the European Commission regarding its compliance with European Union State aid law.
