The city has seen 208 foreign investors contributing capital and acquiring shares with a combined value of US$133.3 million, nearly triple that of 2018.

These positive figures were thanks to the city authorities’ great efforts to improve the investment and business environment to create more favourable conditions for investors in the city. Also, the city’s leaders have removed obstacles hindering investors.
