25TH REPORT ON G20 INVESTMENT MEASURES

28/06/2021 – G20 member countries have continued to contain the damage associated with the COVID-19 pandemic to their economies by remaining largely open to international investment and facilitating such investment, according to the 25th OECD-UNCTAD report released today. They also took a significant number of measures related to concerns about the implications that certain investments can have for essential security interests, continuing a trend observed in G20 member countries – and well beyond – since around 2017.

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.
