The BIA is designed to create a secure and predictable investment climate while balancing robust protection for investors and their investments with sufficient flexibility for sovereign policy space. The agreement reflects modern principles and evolving jurisprudence of international investment law, allowing both nations to pursue legitimate public policy objectives.
The implementation of this agreement is expected to contribute to increased cross-border investment activity and further deepen the economic partnership between India and Israel.
