PAIiIZ undergoes more than a facelift to attract FDI

The Agency will be transformed into a so-called one-stop shop, as "We have to be a government organization equipped with all the necessary permits, instruments and full responsibility for attracting investment into the country," said PAIiZ President Andrzej Zdebski. Transforming the Agency will be possible after the government accepts the necessary regulations. At present, PAIiIZ is supervising around 100 investment projects, which have a total value of $3 billion and which would create 25,000 new jobs. The Agency will also take over responsibilities for promoting Poland abroad as well as the exports of goods and services. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 22) M.M.
