UPDATE: The #WTO website has now published news on participants completing the text on #InvestmentFacilitation for Development, mainly a statement from WTO chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

More details are in a paper from the coordinators linked in the story:

As a result, I’ve corrected and updated the blog on what the agreement would do, and the struggles the 114 participants face with the rest of the membership.
