MAP OF THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE IN MUNICIPALITIES
0
The map of the investment climate in the municipalities can serve as a guide regarding the environment for doing business, the measures taken to attract investments and the prospects for implementing entrepreneurial initiatives in the municipalities under study. The systematized information about the websites of the municipalities and the links with the main information units related to the topic is a useful tool for quick access to requested documents, administrative services and other conditions for the economic activity at the local level. The data presented in the current edition of the Investment Climate Map for 2023 reflects information on the contribution of the local government institutions that governed the 27 municipalities surveyed until the local elections (October 29/November 5, 2023) and civil society structures, which jointly create the general climate for the implementation of entrepreneurial activity.
