The new law will: � Give foreign investors the same rights and responsibilities as domestic investors. � Eliminate the restriction on access by foreign firms to domestic credit. � Remove the prohibition against foreign investment in certain fields. � Reduce the number of businesses in which prior government approval for investment is required. � Liberalize provisions for repatriating capital and profits. � Reduce taxes on profit remit- tances. The new law should bring in more capital from private foreign sources. Businessmen will probably respond slow- ly, however, waiting to see whether the regime's other measures improve the out- look for stability and profitable economic activity !SPHERE TOP RET Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2997901 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2997901 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2997901 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2997901 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2997901 NR
