France welcomes positive economic development in SL
France welcomes the recent positive economic developments in Sri
Lanka, in particular regarding fiscal policy including an ambitious tax
reform.
French companies will have a special interest in assessing the
contribution of these measures but also other incentives to facilitate
their investment, sale or lending decisions.
They will also look at the global scenario for business environment,
like good governance, timely decision process making, adequate
infrastructure, financial capacity and growth perspectives, a statement
issued by the French Embassy said.
The Embassy of France in Sri Lanka and the Economic Department of the
French Embassy in New Delhi have taken the initiative to encourage
French companies based in India to join an official and business mission
in Sri Lanka.
The purpose of this mission is to invite the French subsidiaries in
India to explore the investment opportunities to contribute to the
economic development of Sri Lanka.
The French business delegation which comprises nine business people
representing seven large scale companies from France will meet members
of the Government, senior officials and private counterparts.
Along with the French delegation, the South Asia Head for French
Development Agency (AFD), a public owned financial institution engaged
in financing projects contributing to a "green and inclusive growth",
will reiterate its support to the country requirements.
Following the business mission, the Economic counsellors from the
different French Embassies in South Asia will hold their annual regional
meeting in Colombo. Courtesy-priu.gou.lk |
