Business opportunities-as reflected in the size and growth potential of markets-are the most powerful drivers of foreign direct investment.

Moreover, many elements of the investment climate can be reformed in the short run and at comparatively low cost. Improving the investment climate therefore offers an excellent opportunity for countries seeking to attract foreign direct investment.
