| Summary: | More than 70 percent of investment
promotion intermediaries may be missing out on foreign
investment by failing to provide investors with accurate and
timely information, according to the global investment
promotion benchmarking 2009 report. This function, known as
'investment facilitation,' is one of the simplest
and most cost effective, yet it is neglected at many
agencies. A new survey by the investment climate advisory
services of the World Bank Group has identified 14 common
practices of the top-performing agencies in the benchmarking
study. Weaker performers can inexpensively implement many of
these practices to win a larger share of the trillion-dollar
market for foreign investment. |
