Commonwealth leaders gathered on 24th October for a side event to unveil the Commonwealth Investment Action Plan. The plan aims to boost trade and investment across Commonwealth member states while enhancing the economic resilience of small and vulnerable nations.
"The Commonwealth Investment Action Plan is a fulfilment of the mandate given by our Trade Ministers to mobilise investment where it is most urgently needed.
......The Commonwealth Investment Action Plan builds on discussions from the 2023 Commonwealth Trade Ministers Meeting. It addresses key challenges many Commonwealth countries face, particularly developing and small states, in securing the necessary investment to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This is especially urgent given the widening infrastructure gaps, climate challenges, and rising inequality."
The CSN is included in the report as an example (p. 20) of enhancing technical support to build investment capacity and capabilities, and attractive enabling environments.
