Investment Reform Index

The Investment Reform Index (IRI) is the South East Europe Investment Compact’s flagship publication, providing a comprehensive assessment of policy reform, institutional settings and achievements in key dimensions of policy that impact the business climate, from infrastructure to human capital development.

The IRI 2009 process, launched in September 2008, builds on the 2006 IRI report, but also contains entirely new dimensions - for instance on SME policy – as well as new analyses in existing dimensions such as tax policy and administration. A hallmark of the IRI process is a series of consultations with governments, the private sector and independent experts. Independence and consensus building during the analytic work is an essential feature of the IRI (and a key to facilitating the progress of reform).

The IRI 2009 process will last from October 2008, when assessment frameworks will be sent to governments, to publication of the results in July-August 2009.
