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.

Launches new investment platform to boost international green investment
23 Oct 2024On 23 October 2024, Brazil launched a new investment platform, the Brazil Climate and Ecological Transformation Investment Platform (BIP), to link climate plans with investment opportunities. This platform was unveiled in Washington, D.C., during a side event at the fourth meeting of the Group of Twenty (G20) finance ministers and central bank governors.
The platform aims to connect investors, public and private financiers, and global financial institutions, bridging the gap between funding and green initiatives.
The platform will feature projects validated by the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), all marked with a "green seal," certifying alignment with the Ecological Transformation Plan.
