To promote home-country resource capacities, including resource stability and security, targeting could focus on industrial sectors, investment motivations and entry modes associated with the natural resources and raw materials sectors. Regulations could be eased for investments in natural resources sectors, which should, at the same time, be monitored for appropriate corporate conduct overseas. Financial and fiscal support measures, political risk insurance and operational measures could focus on the natural resources sectors, and treaties could be concluded to facilitate investments in natural resources-related sectors. Financial support measures could also target resource-seeking and resources extraction investments directly, as is common practice, and fiscal measures could focus on those investments aimed at extracting natural resources overseas.

Finally, efforts could be made to maximise domestic resource capacity gains by facilitating the direct transfers of natural resources between host and home countries. For example, the shipping of natural resources can be facilitated by investing in the associated transportation infrastructure and logistics.

Key insights

  • The enhancement of home-country resources capacities can be promoted especially by targeting financial support measures at natural resources sectors, resource-seeking and resource-extraction investments.
