The IDB Group, in its current capacity as chair of the secretariat for the G8 Deauville Partnership IFI Coordination Platform, and in accordance with the Group’s new strategy to assist the Arab transition countries in building an enabling investment environment that would be conducive toward attracting more FDI inflows, is co-organizing the Deauville Partnership Investment Forum in Tunisia on June 14, 2013.
The objective of the Forum in Tunis is to discuss the current investment climate and review the ongoing work by the government to build an enabling investment environment and any new incentives to foreign investors. The Forum will also engage a group of investors to present and discuss their experience on investing in Tunisia so as to identify success stories and any obstacles encountered. The discussion of the investment climate and the related reforms, in addition to the presentation of investors’ perspectives, will positively contribute to the government’s on-going to build an enabling investment environment, which would ultimately generate and open new and promising economic opportunities in the country.
The other objective of the Forum is to support and prepare for an active participation by the concerned Tunisian officials in the Investment Conference which is being organized by the G8 Deauville Partnership Presidency (UK) in London on September 16, 2013, in cooperation with the IDB Group and EBRD, to promote foreign direct investment into Arab transition countries.
