The meeting took place at the TradeInvest meeting room on Friday last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting aimed to conduct a technical assessment of the investment proposals in accordance with the requirements established under the Private Investment Law (Law No. 15\/2017), particularly to determine eligibility for the Declaration of Benefits (DB) and the Special Investment Agreement (SIA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, the General Coordinator emphasized that the Technical Commission was established through Decree-Law to support the effective implementation of the Private Investment Law and strengthen the investment climate in Timor-Leste. He further noted that the IX Constitutional Government is currently reviewing the national legal framework for investment protection in order to introduce reforms that reinforce investor confidence and create a more competitive business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo date, we have achieved significant positive results, with several investments already beginning to materialize. This team is strong and highly professional. I continue to inform the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prime Minister about the effectiveness and efficiency of the sectoral services being provided. Investors who come to Timor-Leste are those with financial capacity and serious commitment,\u201d said Jorge Rui de Carvalho Martins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The General Coordinator also highlighted that the investment facilitation mechanism is based on integrated coordination among MKAE, TradeInvest Timor-Leste, the Ministry of Justice, and relevant line ministries that provide technical recommendations. According to him, this coordinated mechanism has proven effective in delivering three core functions: Expectations of Certificate Decisions, Investment Qualification Assessments, and the negotiation of Special Investment Agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative aligns with the IX Constitutional Government\u2019s program on economic diversification and the strengthening of the private sector as a key pillar of national development.<br>\u201cMKAE does not work alone; our role is to integrate the vision of all ministries into one coordinated political and economic framework,\u201d he added.
