Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment

Format *
The most-favoured-nation treatment (MFN) standard is a core element of international investment agreements, it gives investors a guarantee against certain forms of discrimination by host countries, and it is crucial for the establishment of equality of competitive opportunities between investors from different foreign countries. The purpose of this publication is to assist developing countries to participate as effectively as possible in international investment rule-making at multilateral levels. MFN applies both in the trade and the investment fields, however there are many more possibilities to discriminate against foreign investment. This publication takes stock of the existing agreements, examines the fields in which there are exceptions in the MFN and includes Country-specific examples such as the GATS and the NAFTA approach. It examines potential interactive effects of the MFN standard with other investment-related issues, concepts or policy areas. Ultimately, the publication asssesses the economic and development implications of MFN standard. Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment is addressed to government officials, corporate executives, representatives of non-governmental organization, officials of international agencies and researchers.
