Investment promotion tools in the MEDA region (2004) Editeur : Anima/Edisud, 2004Auteurs : Fabrice Hatem, Benedict de Saint-LaurentInvestment promotion tools in the MEDA regionAnima Papers & studies n°2Greater co-operation and exchange of experiences between investment promotion agencies (IPA) in the MEDA region requires an in-depth mutual knowledge of national prospecting mechanisms. The survey conducted in 2003-2004 on this matter among ANIMA's national partner agencies revealed the following : - The development of investment promotion initiatives follows a general trend towards opening up to foreign investment in the euro-mediterranean region. Although some countries, such as Malta, Jordan and Tunisia played a leading role un this regard, only recently have promotion policies been implemented in the region ; - Investment promotion agencies frequently fall under government departments in charge of either regulating foreign investment or of investment planning within the context of a planned economy. Their status, structures, areas of intervention, recruitment and funding methods are still very influenced by this background ; - Progressive changes towards organisational structures should, however, be highlighted : establishment of independent specialized agencies, desire to include private sector in the initiative, and even start of diversification in recruitment ; - Lastly, the lack of financial resources at the disposal of most agencies in the MEDA countries hinders the introduction of proactive large-scale promotion policies (own prospecting network, targeted prospecting operations).This study confirms the interest in regional co-operation within the framework of the ANIMA programme.An electronic version of this document can be downloaded in french: http://www.fabricehatem.fr/fh-medias/2017/04/BenchmarkAPI.pdf Also visit the Anima website : www.animaweb.org
