An investment policy is any government regulation or law that encourages or discourages
local economy, e.g. currency exchange limits
.
Explanation
As
trade pact. Investment policy favoring local investors over global ones is typically discouraged in such pacts, and the idea of a separate investment policy rapidly becomes a fiction or fantasy, as real decisions reflect the real need for nations to compete for investment, even from their own local investors.[1][2]
A strong and centralized system of the new global rules, made by many in the anti-globalization movement, is that guarantees are often available to foreign investors that are not available to local small investors, and that capital flight is encouraged by such free trade pacts.
Policy drivers
Investment policy in many nations is tied to immigration policy, either due to a desire to prevent
money-laundering
and safe places for "bosses" to move to when the heat rises in their home country.
