Governments worldwide are seeking to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to support national development objectives. Many, if not all, use investment incentives to attract investments that align with policy objectives, such as contributing to a knowledge-based economy, supporting the green transition, promoting digital transformation and achieving inclusive growth. Investment incentives can take many forms, such as tax, financial, regulatory and in-kind incentives. While these are designed to meet specific policy objectives, they must be well-crafted and properly implemented to be effective. Investment promotion agencies (IPAs) are key players in promoting and facilitating FDI and are under increasing pressure to deliver results. They are tasked with attracting not just more investments but better-quality investments. As a result, IPAs are adopting more selective investment promotion strategies and developing more sophisticated performance indicators. The role of investment incentives in investment promotion strategies and in the operations of IPAs varies significantly across countries. The main objective of this year’s OECD IPA Network Meeting is to discuss the goals and significance of incentives and their alignment with investment promotion priorities. There will also be a sector focus on the digital industry and technical exchanges on measuring sustainable investment.
