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.

Encourages investments in the manufacturing industry
21 Jun 2024On 21 June 2024, the Government of Romania launched a € 450 million scheme to encourage investments in the manufacturing industry. The scheme prioritizes investments in critical sectors for economic diversification and resilience, such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and waste management, and aims to promote balanced growth by excluding Bucharest from funding.
The initiative aims to provide non-repayable funding to private enterprises making substantial economic impacts with a focus on innovation and sustainability. The scheme supports industry in achieving climate neutrality through new industrial processes and the use of cleaner technologies, and aims to integrate Romania in European and international value chains. Financial support will be up to € 50 million and will cover up to 75 per cent of eligible expenses, depending on the investment location, with businesses required to cover a portion of eligible and all ineligible costs.
