FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT

VFIPA's recent online FDI registration portal, not only does it make foreign investment registration easier and faster, but allows the Agency to collect statistics on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) for analysis and reporting for informed decision making purposes by the Government and other users.

Through this online registry, the Agency maintains the largest national database on FDI types and activities from announced and existing fdi businesses, capturing information on up to 30 economies globally. While our current database covers only 5 years for data, incorporating historical data into the current system is work in progress.

Foreign direct investment has been and remains a key contributor to Vanuatu's growth and development priorities. We dedicate this page to demonstrate how we value the data on inward FDI we collected and how statistics if used properly can contribute to sound decision making and positive impacts.
