A system of investment incentives was created and has been adapted to meet changing conditions. As in many countries, there are positive and negative opinions on the existence of investment incentives. Many agencies are trying to determine whether they are effective or not.

To do so, it provides a case study of firms that received investment incentives, charting the firm’s development and profitability.
