<h1>Investor protection secured with arbitration and a five year local remedies requirement to bolster cross border investment certainty.</h1> The bilateral investment treaty establishes investor protection including safeguards against expropriation, transparency obligations, transfer and compensation mechanisms, and a minimum standard of treatment while preserving sovereign regulatory space. It creates an independent arbitration mechanism but requires exhaustion of local remedies for five years before recourse to international arbitration, and targets cooperation in fintech, infrastructure, financial regulation, and digital payment connectivity to encourage increased bilateral investment.
