Create comfortable conditions for business

The Committee for the Development of Entrepreneurship and Industry worked on a number of important and new documents for the republic during the spring session. They are designed to improve the functioning of the economy of our state. Chairman of the Committee Victor Guzun summed up the results of the next parliamentary season.

Attraction of investments

One of the important documents - the law "On state support of investment activities in the PMR" - was submitted by the Government. The law was considerably finalized by the deputies. The document is designed to create all the necessary conditions for an investor who wants to invest in the economy of our state, received maximum benefits and guarantees. It will be able to conclude a direct investment agreement with the government. This guarantees the stability of doing business, saving the investment that will bring income. Tax legislation will not change. In addition, there is a special preferential treatment: a reduction in the rate of income tax, benefits for unified social and income taxes.

The state understands: it is necessary to create comfortable conditions in order for a foreign investor to want to open a business in our republic. This is the focus of the work of all branches of government. We are interested in foreign investors coming to our republic, not to our neighbors. These are new businesses, additional jobs for us. The task is to convey information about our investment advantages to foreign partners.

Public procurement in a new way

Another new law is "On Public Procurement in Pridnestrovie". Its authors were a group of deputies of the Supreme Council. The document is intended to reform the system of state purchases in our republic. It's no secret that today we are experiencing certain difficulties with the amount of money that is channeled to the realization of state tasks. Therefore, we need to maximally spend every state ruble. The mechanism proposed by us will make public purchases open, transparent, bring in them the principle of competitiveness. Entrepreneurs in order to win it will bet on lowering the proposed price during an open auction. The law provides for an auction in two stages. In the course of the first contest committee will determine the qualitative and technical parameters of the participants and select the best of them. The second stage is an open auction. It will be held within the framework of a single auction center in the first year. The plans are to conduct the auction in electronic mode. Any businessman, being in his office, will be able to participate in Internet bidding. This law can be called revolutionary in its content. The government is tasked to prepare all the necessary subordinate legislation so that from January 1, 2019 all public procurement will be carried out in a new way.

Ability to temporarily suspend activities

Another area of ​​work of our Committee concerned the development of legislations related to the suspension of enterprises. Unfortunately, the crisis of 2016 seriously affected our economic agents. Its effects they still feel on themselves. We suggested that our business entities not to close legal entities, not fall into the category of enterprises undergoing the procedure of forced liquidation, and give them the opportunity to temporarily suspend their activities.

Available credits

The Committee during the spring session participated in the development of a new approach to the activities of the State Reserve Fund. We have developed a resolution that regulates the distribution of gratuitous aid to Russia. The new mechanism made it possible to issue soft loans to agribusiness and small business entities. Deputies have excluded the norm obliging businessmen to provide a pledge from the law. Together with the leadership of the Foundation, we conducted field meetings on all the cities and regions of the republic, informed about the implementation of this project. 38 entrepreneurs decided to take a soft loan to open their own business or expand existing production during two months.
