Tiraspol, 10 May. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. The government discussed the promotion of the country's investment legislation both abroad and in the media.
As we have reported, President Vadim Krasnoselsky signed a few days ago a law supporting investment activities, which will come into force on 1 June 2018. The main objectives of the document are to encourage investors to invest in the economy of Pridnestrovie, to promote the creation of new enterprises and additional jobs.
"70% of success depends on how we'll be able to implement this law," the prime minister said at today's meeting, having designated a task for each structural unit.
Information policy is one of the important concepts for promoting the bill in the media sector. At the suggestion of Alexander Martynov, an investment portal will be created. The information resource should contain information on Pridnestrvoie, its economic potential, about the law itself, as well as successful examples of foreign companies doing business in the country. The site will be supplemented by appeals of the president, prime minister and the chairman of the Supreme Council to potential investors. Most of this information will be published in hard copy as well. It is assumed that both the website and the booklet will be translated into several foreign languages.
The prime minister asked the participants of the dialogue to pay special attention to the presentation of the draft law, the government's press service reports. According to Alexander Martynov, it should be promoted in Russian regions, EU and Middle East countries.
Addressing to the heads of state administrations, the prime minister maintained that it was up to them to attract investment from domestic investors. The deputy prime minister, in turn, spoke about another important point - the creation of investment maps for each district.
"Nobody except the heads knows which unexploited sites, former industrial facilities can be offered to investors, where there is an area attractive to the investor," said Sergey Obolonik.
The participants put forward their proposals regarding the promotion of the investment bill.
As previously reported, work on the law had been conducted for a long time together with Supreme Council members and the business community. The document had been finalised with the assistance of Russian experts from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Government of Moscow Oblast.
The legislative act offers a number of special (additional) state guarantees and preferences to entrepreneurs wishing to invest in the country's economy. Among them are benefits on taxes, fees and other mandatory payments; investment subsidy; full-time state grants.
