Summary/Abstract: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, national economies around the world faced significant challenges in protecting and stimulating investment in a volatile economic environment. Through comparative research, we assess how countries have developed and implemented specific policies to support vulnerable sectors, strengthen existing investments and attract new sources of capital. To do so, we examine national investment screening strategies, analysing their eligibility criteria, objectives and relevance in the context of the pandemic. It also assesses how countries are responding to economic uncertainty and pandemic constraints, including rapidly adapting existing policies and promoting investment innovation. Finally, this research provides a comprehensive perspective on the various investment selection mechanisms adopted by states during COVID-19, providing valuable insights for policy decision-making and for developing more resilient and effective approaches to future global economic challenges.
