Tóm tắt

The global economy is facing uncertainties and a slowdown in growth and productivity that are unprecedented. The broad-based slowdown in growth rates has profound implications for the world's ability to tackle the growing array of challenges, especially poverty and climate action, that are unique to our times. Private investment, and foreign direct investment in particular, will have to drive the recovery in Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs). The overlapping crises of the past few years have translated into unprecedented volatility and uncertainty for foreign direct investment (FDI) and international production. Global FDI flows have stagnated since the global financial crisis in 2008. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has an interest in better integrating in global and regional value chains. As such, it has increasingly been emphasizing private sector-led growth, with governments of the sub-region continuing to seek ways of establishing an appropriate enabling environment to support economic growth and poverty alleviation. This SADC Investment Climate Scorecard focuses on identifying legal and regulatory restrictions on the entry of foreign direct investment in 15 SADC member economies.
