The Director of the Foreign Investment
Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) Gordan Milinić visited the Municipality of Stanari
in order to get information about the economic situation in this area, the
successfully realized investment of TPP Stanari, and the new investment
opportunities offered by the Municipality, where he met with the Mayor Dušan
Panić.
The Director Milinić introduced the Mayor Panić
with the responsibilities of FIPA as the main address for foreign investments
in BiH, activities on finding foreign investments, providing assistance in
realization of investment projects, participation in conferences and business
meetings with the aim to promote available investment projects.
He emphasized that FIPA is looking for investors
everywhere in the world, that it has 7,000 contacts of foreign investors with
whom it is in permanent contact, and invites them to visit BiH in order to get information
on the potential of the country.
The Agency also coordinates the competent
institutions from the municipal to the state level to to attract foreign
investments, and as a result, in 2017, we record an increase in the inflow of
foreign investments of 66.8%, stressing that the realization of a large foreign
investment in M&TPP Kamengrad near Sanski Most in the amount of
1.020.000.000 BAM is underway.
The entry of FIPA into the Steering Committee
of WAIPA represents an additional advantage for BiH's promotion and its
opportunities.
The Municipality of Stanari wants to attract
both domestic and foreign investments with the aim to create new jobs, and on
this road it expects support from FIPA in terms of promoting its investment
opportunities. A business zone is prepared to be offered to investors,
especially from the metal sector and energy.
It is also very important to emphasize that the
Municipality allocates subsidies of 6,500 BAM for each new job with respecting
certain criteria.
The Municipality offers the available workforce
of various profiles. The unemployment rate is 39%, and additional efforts must
be invested to create new jobs.
