Peru Investment Policy and Promotion

completed

Peru's Investment Policy and Promotion project focuses on supporting the Government of Peru in designing a more efficient investment policy and promotion framework based on two analytical pillars to guide the effectiveness of policies related to investment. The first pillar is the investment lifecycle, which sees FDI as a dynamic relationship with the host economy, and not merely as a one-time transaction. This view corresponds to an investment policy and promotion framework capable of addressing issues along various stages of the relationship between foreign investors and the host economy, including FDI attraction, entry and establishment, expansion, and linkages with the domestic economy. The second pillar is the investment typology, which sees FDI as a heterogenous phenomenon, which can be broadly categorized along four types (natural resource-seeking, efficiency-seeking, domestic market-seeking and strategic asset-seeking).
