1 Seychelles A. Definitions and sources of data The definition of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Seychelles is based on standards adopted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This definition includes investments by a nonresident entity in the Seychelles whereby the direct investor acquires a long-term interest in Seychelles enterprise with a significant degree of influence on the management of the enterprise. An acquisition of 10% or more of the ordinary shares or voting power of a resident enterprise by a non-resident individual enterprise is considered to be FDI. The Central Bank of Seychelles collects data on FDI for the purpose of compiling balance-of-payment (BOP) statistics. The data collection is based on a combination of company surveys and transactions of foreign currency. The data are highly aggregated. The IMF provides data on FDI in the country in its BOP statistics. The Government of Seychelles only restricts foreign control or ownership of immobile property such as land. Such acquisition by foreign investors requires government approval. Also, due to a foreign exchange shortage in the Seychelles, certain transfers (e.g., remittance of dividends, transfer of management fees and proceeds for sale of assets) are subject to the approval of the Central Bank. As part of its effort to increase FDI in the economy, the government had created the Seychelles International Business Authority to facilitate development of the offshore sector. The Seychelles international trade zone is also established in the same year in an attempt to boost foreign investment. Seychelles committed to the Organization for Economic Co-operation for Development's requirements for ending harmful tax competition. The services sector including transport, communications, commerce and tourism dominates the Seychelles economy. Limited economic privatization in the 1990s reduced the role of the state in some this sector, particularly telecommunications and tourism. To advance the strategy of low-volume-high-value tourism, the government has encouraged investment in luxury facilities by offering a range of incentives including, in some cases, exemptions from taxes and labour regulations for investors. Also as part of the effort to deepen its participation in the global economy, Seychelles is an active member of a number of regional integration and co-operation arrangements, such as the Indian Ocean Commission, initiative to form the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, and the Southern African Development Community. Seychelles is also a member of the African Union, New Partnership for Africa's Development and a signatory to the European Union's Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries' agreement for the negotiation of the Cotonou Agreement. It is an eligible member of the United States market access initiative for African countries - the African Growth and Opportunity Act. Posted November 2006
