National Investment Reform Agenda Workshops

Most participating countries have elaborated National Investment Reform Agendas under the MENA-OECD Investment Programme. These Reform Agendas include concrete investment policy reform measures aimed at improving the country’s investment environment. They define reform targets in each of the policy areas covered by the Programme. Country Teams are implementing these reforms and participating in the Working Groups.

A number of countries, such as Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Palestinian National Authority, Oman, and Bahrain have already completed this process and workshops to discuss their investment reform targets will be held in the coming months.
