Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important source of finance for governments
looking to meet global commitments on sustainable development. But, beyond the quantity
of FDI, its quality also matters. The FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit complements the
OECD Policy Framework for Investment by providing more detailed and tailored guidance
on priorities for policy and institutional reforms that can enhance the impacts of
investment in four areas of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): productivity
and innovation, job quality and skills, gender equality, and decarbonisation.
