The Director of the Office of the Italian Foreign
Trade Agency in BiH (ICE) Margherita Lo Greco visited FIPA in order to have
information about the current situation regarding the inflow of Italian
investors in BiH, the current cooperation of FIPA with Italian investors, and
the current implementation of projects and established contacts with potential
investors.
The FIPA Director Gordan Milinić pointed out
that Italy is ranked at the 8th position with 556 million BAM invested
in various sectors of the BiH economy, and that cooperation was intensified on
establishing contacts with potential investors from Italy during 2016 and 2017,
which is confirmed by the Outreach Campaign from May 2017, and by visits to the
Macfrut Fair in 2016 and 2017, when significant contacts with Italian
businessmen were achieved.
For many years, FIPA has been successfully
cooperating with the ICE Office in Sarajevo on promotion of BiH's investment
opportunities, and it is an active participant in economic events organized by
ICE in order to connect business people and establish contacts.
It is planned to organize an economic event at
the end of November in Milan, where Bosnia and Herzegovina is going to be
presented with its potentials.
