🗞 JUST OUT Our latest report finds that although Czechia has attracted significant foreign direct investment (FDI), there is more potential to harness its benefits for local economies. There is a particular need to improve the internationalisation of Czech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which still lag behind larger firms in terms of accessing the knowledge, technologies and skills needed to collaborate with foreign multinationals. These SMEs can benefit from the spillover effects of hashtag #FDI. Policy coordination will be required across different institutions involved in investment promotion, SME development, innovation, and regional development, as detailed further in the report’s recommendations.

In collaboration with colleagues from the Responsible Business Conduct Centre #RBC and the Global Relations Directorate #GRC, we recently had an engaging session with the Government of Paraguay to discuss the benefits of adhering to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. Some key benefits are: ✅ Joining this important instrument covering 51 economies, reassures foreign investors that the country meets OECD standards on investment policy and Responsible Business Conduct. 🌐 Provides transparency in the investment regime for enhanced investor confidence. 📊 Allows Adherents to participate in global standard-setting activities as full members of the Investment Committee. While the webinar may have concluded, the dialogue continues! Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage in shaping the world's investment landscape.
