Abstract: The WTO Investment Facilitation for Development Agreement (IFDA) offers significant development perspectives by speeding up and streamlining administrative procedures and reducing transaction costs. Domestic regulatory reforms, combined with comprehensive special-and-differential treatment as well as substantial technical and financial support are essential to ensure the beneficial implementation of the IFDA and sustainable and productive FDI.
