The World Investment Report supports policymakers by monitoring global and regional investment trends and national and international policy developments. This year?s report reviews investment in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and shows the influence of investment policies on public health and economic recovery from the pandemic. This report looks at investment priorities for the recovery phase. It shows that for developing and transition economies, and least-developed countries (LDCs) in particular, the development of productive capacity is a helpful guide in setting investment priorities and showing where international investment can most contribute, but also where it has been hit hardest during the pandemic.
