And all this information will be stored in the database and have a permanent update. We can always understand and see — which department, which ministry, which agency did not respond to the investor’s request in time, did not answer the questions, did not provide assistance. All these measures are designed to significantly improve the investment climate and business environment in the country, increase investor confidence in investing in various sectors of the economy.
