UNCTAD is launching its World Investment Report, under embargo until 5 p.m. GMT on 7 June 2017.

Friday 02 June 2017 10:05
This year, similar to last year, UNCTAD is making full use of modern technology and, rather than launching the report in person in selected countries, will hold online press conferences based on language group. Our experts will be based in Geneva and ready for journalists to talk to them either by video or written "chat" format during a live, online event similar to a "webinar".

Journalists must register ahead of time if they plan to join in. Therefore, we kindly request that you circulate the attached invitation to journalists in your country; perhaps the same journalists who have traditionally covered this launch in the past. This invitation contains instructions on how to register and how to join the online event, as well as information on the content of this year's World Investment Report, subtitled Investment and the Digital Economy.
