    The Global Investment Competitiveness Survey (GIC Survey) offers practical evidence to help policy makers design policies and prioritize reforms that investors value. It captures perceptions of international business executives on the role of investment climate factors in their FDI decisions.

    The survey was designed to provide a broad understanding of corporate perspectives and investor behavior and was not intended as a benchmarking tool to compare countries. Results are not representative at a country level.
