Editing Investment policy (section)

== Policy drivers ==
Investment policy in many nations is tied to immigration policy, either due to a desire to prevent [[human capital flight]] by forcing investors to keep local assets in local investments, or by a desire to attract immigrants by offering passports in a [[:wikt:safe haven|safe haven]] nation, e.g. [[Canada]], in exchange for a substantial investment in a business that will create jobs there.  A frequent criticism of such joint immigration-investment policy is that they encourage [[organized crime]] by providing incentive for [[money-laundering]] and safe places for "bosses" to move to when the heat rises in their home country.
