Eurasia is emerging as an attractive destination for investment and trade. It has a strategic geographic location between the East and West, where it is particularly important to promote economic and political stability.
However, while the region has attractive assets, its competitiveness is held back by the poor quality of the business environment, due to weak legal and economic institutions, an underdeveloped private sector and other legacies of a centrally planned economy.
The objective of the recently launched Eurasia initiative is to increase investment, competitiveness and private sector development in Eurasia by helping the countries in the region to design and implement government policies to improve the business climate.
The initiative will evaluate policy, define priorities and support capacity building and implementation of
reform drawing on existing OECD instruments that have proven their worth in other regions, notably the Policy Framework for Investment and the Investment Reform Index.
More information on the initiative will be added shortly.
