| Title | Guidelines for Investment Promotion Agencies |
| Abstract | Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is playing an increasingly important role in the world
economy. Especially important are FDI inflows for the developing countries as these bring
potential benefits of capital formation as well as productivity gains to domestic firms. In an
increasingly competitive international environment it is challenging for some developing
countries to compete for, and attract, significant shares of FDI. The aim of these Guidelines is to support Investment Promotion Agencies interested in stimulating FDI inflows into their countries. The paper brings to the reader’s attention developments in both policy and practical approaches to the issues of FDI as well as specific actions that host Governments may take to attract FDI. The approaches include UNIDO’s tools, methodologies and mechanisms that can be used by policymakers at government, institution and enterprise levels to enhance competitiveness in attracting FDI. |
