  • Summary

    This chapter examines what the global technology sector and digital economy firms seek in terms of domestic policy environments and ecosystem factors to attract inbound foreign direct investment (FDI), focusing on factors amenable to policy and regulatory interventions in the short to medium term. The analysis then evaluates recent international economic cooperation efforts on investment in intergovernmental fora, including the G20, APEC, the OECD, the WTO, and free trade agreements, to address the needs of these firms. Despite the recent deterioration in trust between major economic powers, the chapter notes incremental but potentially important progress being made on improving the regulatory governance that underpins countries’ investment environments, both in ongoing negotiations to conclude an Agreement on Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) at the WTO and in bilateral, regional, and megaregional free trade agreements.
