Investment Protection Agreements

Investment Protection Agreements (IPAs) are legal treaties between countries designed to protect foreign investors and their investments. These agreements ensure that investors receive fair treatment, compensation in case of expropriation, and the right to resolve disputes through international arbitration. By providing these protections, IPAs aim to encourage foreign investment by reducing risks and boosting investor confidence. They help create a stable investment environment, benefiting both investors and host countries by fostering economic growth and development.
