Investor Presentaiton
Methodology
Initial mapping of IPP issues in the region
Mapping of key IPP issues based on a desktop research of three primary resources:
Private Sector perceptions collected through business and investor associations
(Foreign Investor Councils, AmCham reports, BIG4 reports) &
Existing research and analytics by international and regional organizations (EC country
reports, UNCTAD analysis, OECD, etc.)
Internal project documentation of WB T&C engagements in the region
Categorization
The matrix is built upon the Investment Life Cycle concept used by IPP
Issues - highlights
Vision and Strategy: countries seem to lack a coherent strategy or even a vision on
how to effectively convert Investments into catalysts of mid and long term economic
development.
Retention and Protection: serious deficits in investment protection, specifically
implementation of investor guarantess in practice (de facto) as opposed to legal
protections.
