The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pfser.com\/en\/investment-consulting\/\">investment incentive<\/a> code also provides various incentives like financial support, full tax allowance, investment bonuses, reduced rates, exemptions, etc. Perhaps this is the reason why Tunisia has recorded a significant increase in foreign investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The investment incentives code applies to all sectors except those governed by specific. Some of these sectors include the financial, energy, mining sector, and domestic commerce. All projects are declared at API\u2019s offices for industrial and service activities. While the relevant ministry authorises some activities, specific activities for investment that are not fully exporting service must be approved by the High Commission for investment. This often happens when the foreign investors are holding a huge portion of interest in the Company.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=&#8221;#ba8350&#8243;
