Investment to be facilitated with one-stop service
Posted by meb at June 4th, 2008
The government has introduced a plan to utilize local governorships in efforts to encourage investment by speeding up bureaucratic procedures.
Under the plan, so-called one-stop investment desks will be established by local governorships to help investors through the necessary paperwork. The desks are scheduled to begin operations in two months.
The related decision, signed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was published in yesterday’s Official Gazette. Industrial entities and entrepreneurs who want to invest in Turkey will benefit from these services by having their problems addressed locally and quickly before and during the investment process. A manager will be appointed to the desk by the local governor, and personnel will be employed as necessary, depending on the city’s potential and investment conditions.
Aside from addressing investors’ problems, the desks will also point out and promote investment opportunities in the region. The process of establishing this service will start immediately, and the contact information for the desks will be announced through various forms of media.
After beginning operations, the desks will prepare activity reports at three-month intervals and submit them to the Turkish Investment Support and Promotion Agency.
