State FDI Attraction Programs…• Coordination & Marketing – State economic development agencies work 

hand‐in‐hand with local economic developers to identify and market potential investment sites.

• Overseas Presence – State overseas offices, often tasked both with export promotion and investment attraction, play a key role in cultivating potential investors in critical overseas markets. 

• Incentives – State and local governments spend billions each year on investment incentives (both for domestic and international investors) including direct appropriations for infrastructure improvements, training assistance, and other spending tied to specific deals and “tax expenditures” created through credits and abatements for business income, property, and other state and local taxes.   For more information see State Business Incentives: Trends and Options for the Future at www.csg.org.

ICA IN THE NEWS

A New Generation in Strategy Consulting

The front page of the Sunday, December 2, 2012, edition of The New York Times featured an analysis of US incentive deals based upon Investment Consulting Associates (ICA)’s online incentive tracking tool and database, ICAincentives.com.

While examining incentive trends across the 50 states, the article “As Companies Seek Tax Deals, Governments Pay High Price” notes that many state programs do not identify specific corporate beneficiaries and, as a result, the authors had to rely on the ICAincentives.com database to provide up‐to‐date and reliable data for their analysis.

ROLE OF INCENTIVES

Investment Incentives are part of a broader strategy that encourages overall economic development in your targeted sectors. They are given:

– Because there supposed to be benefits from giving them

– Because a country or city believes that it must offer incentives to compete with rival countries for FDI

– Because potential investors “expect”  to be provided with some form of incentive.

A New Generation in Strategy Consulting

By observing the incentives given by governments to corporates, priority sectors can be identified and competition for investments intensified

ICA’S GLOBAL SITE SELECTION TREND #4AFRICA: WHATEVER YOU THOUGHT BEFORE, THINK AGAIN*

FDI flows to Africa fell by 9 per cent in 2010.

South Africa saw its 2010 FDI inflows fall by over 70 per cent to $1.6 billion, a level amounting to only one sixth of the peak recorded in the country in 2008.

Regulatory concerns in the oil industry contributed to 29% fall in inflows to Nigeria. The emerging oil industry pulled inflows to Ghana and Niger to record levels, at $2.5 billion and $947 million, respectively.

Although Africa is resource rich and has large and growing consumer markets, the continent is still not able to show enough resilience to global shocks

Think again? Really?  SSA growth figures are very high!

ICA’S GLOBAL FDI TREND #1US: REVIVAL OF A NEW ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE “A competitive and low risk investment climate, with relatively 

stable wage inflation, increased productivity levels and a skilled labor pool in the US compared to rapid rising labor costs and seemingly overheating economies in South East Asia are shifting the global landscape of FDI”

ICA’s “US FDI Competitiveness Report 2011”

The increased productivity in combination with the strong competitive environment plays a big role in the current “reshoring” movement 

A Reuters/MFG.com survey among US companies:– 15% have repatriated production back into the US in the past 2 years– 40% of North American manufacturers with off‐shored production are 

investigating bringing that work back to the U.S. within the next year.
