The Director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) Gordan Milinić talked with Bostjan Pečenko, a member of the Addiko Bank Management Board, about the business environment in BiH, administrative problems that foreign investors face in BiH, and current measures (a total of 57) that FIPA proposes to improve the business environment in the country.
Mr Pečenko pointed out the long-term procedure
for registering a company and issuing VAT number as areas that should be
significantly improved if it wants to help business people to do business
easier.
It was also discussed about an upcoming
business forum dedicated to investment opportunities in BiH that will be held
in Ljubljana in early 2018, organized by the BiH Embassy in Slovenia, where
Addiko Bank will also take an active part, and will help gather investors from
Slovenia and Italy.
Addiko Bank will recommend to its clients
interested in investments to connect with FIPA, and to provide them with
necessary loans and guarantees for investments.
