About

Launched in 2000, the OECD Investment Compact for South East Europe (SEE) is a regional programme designed to improve the investment climate and to encourage private sector development in South East Europe through the implementation of reforms enhancing domestic and foreign investment.

The Investment Compact supports SEE countries with practical tools to increase investment, growth and employment, as well as their EU integration process.

Its work is based on 4 pillars:

• monitor and evaluate the investment climate and progress in investment reform
• support the implementation of reforms
• institutional high-level political support for the reform process
• foster private sector support for the reform process
  

The programme is based within the Private Sector Development Division of the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs and has its own institutional structure, including the South East Europe Investment Committee and an annual Ministerial conference.

SEE Investment Compact member countries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Each country participates in the work of the programme through a Country Economic Team headed by a Country Economic Team leader. Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99 participates as an observer.
