There is growing support behind an international framework to facilitate
investment for sustainable development. This Policy Brief suggests that
the G20 consider adopting Guiding Principles on Investment Facilitation
for Sustainable Development, to help ensure that these efforts result
in an effective, coherent, and developmentoriented outcome. To this end,
this Brief proposes guiding principles to: (1) orient investment
facilitation, (2) facilitate sustainable FDI, (3) integrate facilitation
throughout the investment lifecycle, (4) engage in multistakeholder
consultations, (5) ensure shared responsibilities, (6) encourage
cooperative activities, (7) adopt a whole-of-government approach, (8)
focus on national efforts within a multilateral framework, and (9)
support capacity building coupled with flexibility.
