The OECD launched new policy work on measuring FDI qualities during the March 2018 Investment Committee. The objective is to develop a toolbox to equip policymakers with a set of actionable tools guiding countries to mobilise FDI that maximises inclusive and sustainable growth and supports progress towards the SDGs. To support the project, a policy network for multi-stakeholder dialogue on FDI qualities has been established.
The First and Second Policy Network meetings, held in June and October 2018 respectively, presented the methodology and discussed preliminary results for the first two clusters of FDI qualities, notably gender and productivity and innovation.
The Third Policy Network meeting on FDI qualities will be held on 13 March 2019, back-to-back with the OECD Investment Committee week. The objectives of the meeting include:
The director of InvestChile, Cristián Rodríguez, and Karla Flores, chief economist of the agency, will attend these activities in the context of the updating of the FDI Development Strategy.
