Government launched a provincial InvestSA One Stop
Shop (OSS) in Gauteng on Tuesday, 10 April 2018, in a
bid to attract investment in the province. Its
objectives include providing professional service to all
investors to reduce regulatory inefficiencies and red
tape for investors looking to invest in Gauteng.
The Gauteng InvestSA OSS was launched by the Minister of
Trade and Industry, Rob Davies, together with Gauteng
Premier, David Makhura, in Sandton.
The InvestSA OSS is a presidential programme to promote
and facilitate investment in South Africa.
Minister Davies said that the provincial One Stop Shop
investment centres that were being rolled out in all the
provinces would be used to coordinate and incorporate
the special economic zones, provincial investment
agencies, local authorities and the relevant government
departments involved in regulatory, registration,
permits and licensing matters.
"Gauteng province is an economic hub for South Africaˇ¦s
investment opportunities abound in a number of sectors
of the economy and hosts major multi-national companies
that are increasing their investment in South Africa.
"The launch will strengthen coordination in the three
metros and economic corridors in the province together
with other departments and agencies under one roof."
Gauteng is a leading sub-national destination for
foreign direct investment into the African continent. |
