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.

Slovenia
Expands tax incentives for investments in digital and green transition
22 Nov 2024On 22 November 2024, Slovenia amended the Corporate Income Tax Act (ZDDPO-2U) to expand tax incentives for corporate taxpayers investing in the digital and green transition. Under the new provisions, taxpayers may claim tax relief over five tax periods following the investment, as outlined in article 55c of the Corporate Income Tax Act (ZDDPO-2), promoting long-term investment in sustainable and digital innovation, rather than being limited to the year of investment, as stipulated in the 2022 legislation.
Eligible investments include cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data and environmentally friendly technologies. The relief, aligned with the European Union’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050, allows for a 40 per cent deduction of the investment value in the year of purchase, up to the taxable base limit; however, total tax reliefs may not reduce the tax base by more than 63 per cent. The amendments shall apply to tax periods starting from 1 January 2025.
