Does investment promotion work?
Impact on inward investment• A 10% increase in investment promotion budget leads to a 2.5% increase
in FDI (World Bank)• The net present value of pro‐active investment promotion is almost $4 for
every $1 expended (World Bank)

WAVTEQ launched a new software & data product in 2015 to track and measure FDI and its economic impact and the performance of the IPA/EDO,
which is now used by Select USA, Dubai FDI and many IPAs:http://www.fdiaccounting.com/
Impact on the economy• $1 in FDI leads to $1 in domestic investment • 1 manufacturing FDI job creates 3 indirect jobs in the local economy• Microsoft estimates that for every 1 person it employs, 30 new jobs are
created in the local economy!
Three main types of FDI
3. New forms of investment (NFI)• Subcontracting, licensing, production sharing• Franchising, management, and turnkey projects
2. Equity investments• Mergers & Acquisitions (M&As)• Joint Ventures (JVs)
1. Greenfield • New physical operation• Brownfield (in existing site, typically by a new company)• Expansion/Re‐Investment (of an existing operation)
Investment promotion & facilitation services vary considerably depending on type of FDI being targeted
