Description
Drawing on national experience, this session will highlight recent reforms supporting investment facilitation for sustainable development in line with international commitments. It will present practical examples of institutional regulatory and digital governance tools that support effective implementation in both home and host countries.
The session will also consider the distinctive nature of investment facilitation obligations and their broader benefits for host state investment climates, including potential positive effects for foreign and domestic investors beyond the parties to a specific agreement. It will conclude by examining how international organisations can support implementation through technical assistance, capacity building, diagnostic tools and guidance.
