The indicators focus on 4 thematic areas measuring how foreign companies invest across sectors, start local businesses, access industrial land, and arbitrate commercial disputes. The indicators combine analysis of laws and regulations, as well as their implementation. They explore differences across countries to identify good practices, facilitate learning opportunities, stimulate reforms, and provide cross-country data for research and analysis. The project's methodology is based on the World Bank Group's Doing Business initiative. The IAB indicators draw on data collected through a survey of lawyers, other professional service providers (mainly accounting and consulting firms), investment promotion institutions, chambers of commerce, and other expert respondents in each of the countries measured.

IAB does not measure all aspects of the business environment that matter to investors. For example, it does not measure security, macroeconomic stability, market size and potential, corruption, skill levels, or infrastructure quality. Still, the indicators provide a starting point for governments seeking to improve their competitiveness in attracting foreign investment. 2017-08-16T19:31:55Z 2017-08-16T19:31:55Z 2010 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/826251468341077303/Investing-across-borders-2010-indicators-of-foreign-direct-investment-regulation-in-87-economies http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27883 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Investment Climate Assessment Economic & Sector Work |

Investing Across Borders 2010 (IAB)
presents cross-country indicators analyzing laws,
regulations, and practices affecting foreign direct
investment (FDI) in 87 economies. The indicators focus on 4
thematic areas measuring how foreign companies invest across
sectors, start local businesses, access industrial land, and
arbitrate commercial disputes. The indicators combine
analysis of laws and regulations, as well as their
implementation. They explore differences across countries to
identify good practices, facilitate learning opportunities,
stimulate reforms, and provide cross-country data for
research and analysis. The project's methodology is
based on the World Bank Group's Doing Business
initiative. The IAB indicators draw on data collected
through a survey of lawyers, other professional service
providers (mainly accounting and consulting firms),
investment promotion institutions, chambers of commerce, and
other expert respondents in each of the countries measured.
Between April and December 2009 more than 2,350 experts in
87 economies responded to the survey to provide data for
this report. This chapter presents the report's main
findings including examples of FDI competitiveness-enhancing
practices for each indicator area. It also provides key
results for each region. IAB does not measure all aspects of
the business environment that matter to investors. For
example, it does not measure security, macroeconomic
stability, market size and potential, corruption, skill
levels, or infrastructure quality. Still, the indicators
provide a starting point for governments seeking to improve
their competitiveness in attracting foreign investment. |
