Investment Report 2016
Investor Nationality:
Policy Challenges
“In 2015,
global flows of foreign direct investment rose by about 40 per cent, to
$1.8 trillion, the highest level since the global economic and financial
crisis began in 2008. However, this growth did not translate into an
equivalent expansion in productive capacity in all countries. This is a
troubling development in light of the investment needs associated with
the newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals and the ambitious action
envisaged in the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change. This latest
World Investment Report presents an Investment Facilitation Action
Package to further enhance the enabling environment for investment in
sustainable development.
Regulations on
the ownership and control of companies are essential in the investment
regime of most countries. But in an era of complex multinational
ownership structures, the rationale and effectiveness of this policy
instrument needs a comprehensive re-assessment. This Report provides
insights on the ownership structures of multinational enterprises (MNEs),
and maps the global network of corporate entities using data on millions
of parents and affiliates. It analyses national and international
investment policy practices worldwide, and proposes a new framework for
handling ownership issues.
This latest
edition of the World Investment Report is being issued as the world
embarks on the crucial work of implementing the landmark 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change. The
key findings and policy recommendations of the Report are far reaching
and can contribute to our efforts to uphold the promise to leave no one
behind and build a world of dignity for all. I therefore commend this
Report to a wide global audience.” (Ban Ki-moon)
