About the product

Host country operational measures (HCOMs) capture the vast array of measures implemented by host countries concerning the operation of foreign affiliates once inside their jurisdictions. HCOMs in general terms are part of a broad policy regime aimed at enhancing national welfare. More specifically, they are implemented with the aim of influencing the location and character of investment and, in particular, its costs and benefits. This paper groups HCOMs into three categories and discusses them in the context of some of their restrictions at different international levels.
