G20 Trade and Investment Measures Report |

In response to the renewed request of the G20 countries, UNCTAD, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have issued their second joint report on G20 Countries’ Trade and Investment Policy Measures.
The report finds that, for the period August 2009 – mid February 2010, investment policy trends in G20 countries continued pointing towards greater openness, but that the potential for non-transparent and discriminatory implementation of emergency measures remains a serious challenge. The findings of the report are in line with those of UNCTAD’s recently-launched Investment Policy Monitor.
The report comes at a time of fragile recovery from a widespread fall in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2009. Although G20 FDI inflows showed a pick-up in the second and third quarters of 2009, it was not enough to offset the huge decline that had already occurred. For the whole of 2009, G20 FDI inflows were only $580 billion, 45 per cent less than in 2008. |
