FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important source of finance for governments looking to meet global commitments on sustainable development. But, beyond the quantity of FDI, its quality also matters. The FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit complements the OECD Policy Framework for Investment by providing more detailed and tailored guidance on priorities for policy and institutional reforms that can enhance the impacts of investment in four areas of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): productivity and innovation, job quality and skills, gender equality, and decarbonisation.
Preface
The COVID‑19 pandemic and its devastating human, social and economic consequences have challenged efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the commitments made in the 2016 Paris Agreement. This global crisis has increased the risk of slowing down, or even reversing, progress to make our societies and economies more resilient, inclusive and sustainable. Russia’s war against the people of Ukraine has thrown the trajectory of the recovery into doubt, weakened economic prospects and generated further uncertainty. In this context, a key challenge for the international community is to mobilise significant financial resources to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and ensure that plans for a “decade of action” to advance the SDGs are not side‑tracked.
