The improved single window is part of its drive to establish a supportive and dynamic work environment. In turn, this will attract investment, attract the world’s leading talents and help stimulate economic growth.

The platform will offer digitised services, where investors can complete transactions and will remove the need to visit individual ministries’ websites or physical headquarters. With these improvements, the number of steps required to conduct business has been reduced.

Furthermore, with each new commercial registration, labour approvals will be issued automatically in coordination with the Ministry of Labour and investors will be able to select the nationalities of recruited workers.
