OECD Review of Investment Policies in ASEAN

This review offers an update of the evolving investment landscape and policy priorities across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with a focus on the green and digital transitions. It highlights current trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) and examines their economic and social impacts. The review provides options for policy frameworks to adapt to these shifts, while taking stock of progress in areas such as investment facilitation, tax incentives, regulatory and legal frameworks for FDI, including policies to manage security risks of investment, and the promotion of responsible business practices. By situating FDI within broader regional objectives, such as resilience, inclusiveness, and economic integration, the review aims to shed light on how ASEAN economies can better harness international investment to support long-term development goals.
