Abstract
The year 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of the World Investment Report (WIR), an UNCTAD publication that examines national, regional, and worldwide trends in foreign direct investment and foreign investment policies. I look back briefly at the first 30 WIRs and then look forward, asking: What next? Whither WIR? I argue that upcoming WIRs should address a mix of Big Questions and Grand Challenges and provide a baker’s dozen list of 13 possible themes.
