Investor Presentaiton
DRIVER 2 - BUDGET
Mostly from government resources (hence need for support and
consensus)
Up to a minimum budget of about $64,000 IPAs seem to have no (or
even negative) impact on FDI.
Between a budget of $64,000 and $2 million - IPAs are effective
Between $2 million and $11 million, the estimated elasticity reaches its
maximum value
On average, a 10% increase in the IPA budget is associated with a 7.5%
increase in FDI flows
Finally, above a budget of about $11 million, investment promotion
expenditures are ineffective
Local IPA: budget ranges from $100,000 to $1million
Small level of investment: biggest share to investment promotion; high
level of investment: biggest share to aftercare
