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.

Algeria
Launched a digital platform to streamline access to State-owned land for investors.
08 Feb 2024On February 8, 2024, the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) launched the "Investor's Digital Platform" to streamline access to State-owned land for investors. This centralized online resource serves both national and international individuals and businesses seeking land in Algeria for industrial, tourism, and urban development projects. The platform enables users to browse available State-owned land, submit applications, and monitor project progress through each stage, from evaluation to concession decisions. By digitizing these processes, the platform aims to enhance transparency, reduce bureaucratic delays, and improve the investment climate in Algeria.
Applications are managed exclusively online, ensuring a structured process where projects are evaluated based on specific criteria, with the highest-scoring projects prioritized for provisional and final concession decisions. Approved concessions are typically granted for a renewable period of 33 years and may later be converted into full ownership under certain conditions, facilitating further project growth and financing opportunities.
