Experts had a broad discussion on home country measures (HCMs), i.e. measures taken by home countries of firms that choose to invest abroad designed to encourage foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to other countries. The discussion focused on the HCMs identified in the note by the secretariat (TD/B/COM.2/EM.8/2): information provision, technical assistance and capacity-building measures, financial, fiscal and insurance measures, investment-related trade measures and measures related to the transfer of technology. The discussion confirmed that the issue of outward investment and technology transfer promotion has grown beyond the traditional North-South divide, with a number of developing countries actively pursuing such policies. It also confirmed that the pursuance of best practices in this area should involve all actors engaged in this debate, including home and host country government and private sector institutions
