Summary/Abstract: The group of G20 has never been previously so much involved in investment policy issues and regulation of investment environment in its short history as of now. The recent Chinese presidency of the group in 2016 nevertheless marked a change by establishment of trade and investment working group whose the most important achievement was the Guiding Principles for Global Investment Policymaking. This brings a question whether the G20 with its global impact and in connection with the recently found interest does not constitute a potential for future comprehensive debates on the system of international investment law and its reform, especially in the context of multilateralization and coherence. This contribution attempts to find an answer through an analysis of current trends in investment policies and the Guiding principles as such.
