TPSA Holds Training Workshop on Investment Facilitation Negotiation

April 1, 2019 - April 2, 2019

- Jakarta

The TPSA project held a two-day introductory training workshop on investment facilitation to provide technical expertise on investment facilitation measures and reform. This knowledge is critical for Ministry of Trade and other government officials to ensure Indonesia will achieve its investment attraction and promotion objectives. It is essential that government staff and private sector representatives be aware of the latest developments at the WTO and in the ASEAN in the area of investment facilitation and be equipped with enhanced knowledge on investment facilitation best practices and rules-making process.

At the end of the training, the participants were able to:

  • understand the challenges and opportunities related to multilateral and regional negotiations on investment facilitation, especially for developing countries like Indonesia,
  • define the concept of investment facilitation, and consider the positive linkages between investment facilitation and economic development for Indonesia,
  • gain a better understanding of how to implement investment facilitation measures and reforms for harnessing development gains, and best regulatory practices from other countries, and
  • prepare for the investment facilitation provision negotiations at the WTO and other regional and bilateral FTA negotiations.
