The decree on stimulating entrepreneurship will boost investment activity - chairman of the district executive committee

May 10, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Decree No. 6 "On stimulating entrepreneurial activity in medium-sized and small towns, and rural areas" will activate investment activities in rural areas and strengthen the economic potential of the regions. This was stated by the Chairman of the Braslav District Executive Committee, Sergey Shmatov, in an interview with a BELTA correspondent. In his opinion, exemption from import customs duties and value-added tax on goods imported into Belarus as contributions to the authorized capital of commercial organizations in small towns and rural areas will become an effective incentive for attracting investments, creating new production facilities and jobs. The provision of tax preferences will also positively affect the development of private initiative. The Braslav District Executive Committee intends to widely inform local entrepreneurs about the provisions of Decree No. 6, as well as to provide information on state support for business in Belarus to foreign partners. An investment forum will be held in the region in June, with 17 delegations from Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Estonia, Venezuela, and Ukraine expressing their desire to participate. At this forum, potential investors will receive all the necessary information about the opportunities opened up to them by the decree. -0-
