The General Investment Authority Offers Free Advisory Services to Investors and Aspiring Entrepreneurs in Promising Sectors
Investment Magazine / Special
As part of its functions, which include building a positive image, generating investment, facilitating investment, and advocating for policies, the General Investment Authority (GIA) has initiated the provision of free advisory services to investors and those interested in investing in various available and promising sectors.
In this context, and to support and encourage investment in Yemen, the GIA provides free advisory services by opening the doors of its One-Stop Shop Center to all investors and stakeholders. The goal is to supply them with the necessary information and guidance to explore investment opportunities available in the Yemeni market. The authority also works to address any feedback or complaints faced by ongoing investment projects, raising them to the executive leadership of the GIA to resolve issues and ease challenges for all investment projects, whether existing, under implementation, or newly launched.
At the headquarters of the One-Stop Shop Center, located at Palestine Roundabout (formerly Al-Misbahy), the GIA has received numerous investors and new capital owners interested in understanding the investment environment in Yemen. Among the services provided, the authority responds to all investor inquiries through the "Zoom" electronic platform. In one instance, a Yemeni investor residing in Australia contacted the GIA's dedicated team to discuss his questions and concerns, as well as to present and review his investment ideas.
Additionally, the GIA has provided key guidelines on the legal and administrative procedures necessary for establishing investment projects easily and efficiently. It has also supplied detailed information about promising sectors within the Yemeni market, focusing on sectors with competitive advantages and the potential to generate real and sustainable returns, in line with the modern vision of the Government of Construction and Change.
The GIA has further clarified the procedures and legal requirements for establishing and registering companies and investment projects in Yemen, while also answering investor inquiries regarding the laws and regulations governing investment.
These services are offered under one roof at the One-Stop Shop Center, which includes offices of other government entities related to investment, such as the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment, the Customs Office, the Tax Office, the Labor Office, and other entities responsible for issuing licenses and necessary approvals.
Moreover, the GIA has provided investors with educational materials containing information about the investment environment in Yemen, the available opportunities, and the procedures required to launch and implement investment projects of various types. Visitors to the One-Stop Shop Center were also given a comprehensive package of information about the incentives, privileges, and facilities offered to investors and their projects.
The investors who benefited from these advisory services expressed their satisfaction and appreciation for this initiative, which helps provide them with the necessary information and guidance to make informed and serious investment decisions.
It is worth mentioning that the General Investment Authority reaffirms its commitment to providing the necessary support and facilitation for investors. These advisory services represent a significant step towards improving the investment climate in Yemen and attracting more investments that contribute to achieving sustainable economic development.
