About

Launched in 2000, the OECD Investment Compact for South East Europe is a regional programme designed to improve the investment climate and to encourage private sector development in South East Europe through the implementation of reforms to enhance domestic and foreign investment.

The Investment Compact supports South East European countries with practical tools to increase investment, growth and employment, and supports the EU integration process. Its work is based on 4 pillars:

• Monitore and evaluate the investment climate and progress in investment reform;
• Support the implementation of reforms;
• Institutional high-level political support for the reform process;
• Foster private sector support for the reform process.

The programme is based within the OECD's Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs and has its own institutional structure, including an Investment Committee and an annual ministerial conference.

Investment Compact member countries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Each country participates in the work of the programme through a Country Economic Team headed by a senior level governmental official. UNMIK/Kosovo participates as an observer.
