28TH REPORT ON G20 INVESTMENT MEASURES

14/11/2022 – The frequency of investment policy reform in G20 members slowed again significantly, and investment policy action in G20 members has during the reporting period focused on adjustments of policies that seek to address implications that foreign investment can occasionally have for security interests. According to the 28th OECD-UNCTAD report published today, these policies do not constitute a deviation from the general stance of openness to international investment, which remains paramount to address future crises, to achieve a swift and just transition to carbon neutrality, and to overcome the continued and deepening poverty across and within societies.

Published at 6-monthly intervals since 2009, these reports respond to the mandate from the G20 that OECD and UNCTAD monitor and publicly report on the commitments made by G20 countries not to introduce new barriers to trade and investment. They form part of wider reports on G20 trade and investment measures jointly published by the OECD, WTO and UNCTAD.
