<p>With the globalization of the economy, where the reduction in transport and telecommunications costs has wiped out distances, firms wishing to set up abroad are raising the stakes in terms of their selection and choice of location. Countries are competing and are doing everything they can to attract companies but also to retain it. States thus become the promoters of their own territories in order to seduce multinational companies in a context of one-upmanship since investment projects are limited in number and the list of candidate territories to host them is constantly growing This scientific work will be articulated by trying to answer the following main questions: What are the main determinants for the choice of multinational firms in the location of their investment? What are the main economic and financial policy instruments or the means used by governments to encourage and attract foreign investment? What are the effects of these policies on investments flows? What about Algeria and its investment promotion policy? What are the effects of this policy, in particular the legal mechanism put in place, on investments flows in Algeria?</p>
