Operating under the Prime Minister’s Office, the Department of Domestic and Foreign Investment (DDFI), formerly the Foreign Investment Management Committee (FIMC), administers the foreign investment system and reviews investment applications. To support and encourage investment, the government offers incentives to investors in various forms, including reduced corporate profit taxes, reduced duties and turnover taxes on imported capital equipment and inputs to production, and investment permissions and guarantees. The main laws governing the promotion of investment are the Law on the Promotion and Management of Foreign Investment (1994), the Law on Domestic Investment (1995), the Business Law (1994), the Customs Law (1994), and the Tax Law (1995). The DDFI is designed to offer "one-stop" service to foreign investors by providing information and assistance during the investment process.
