The Minister of Industry and Foreign Trade, Hatem Saleh, slammed the decisions of the former government over halting the allocation of new industrial lands for the investors in order to establish industrial investments, therefore the high industrial growth rates diminished in 2011.
On the sidelines of the annual conference of Belton Financial, the minister said the fears of the former government officials of taking the decision of allocating new lands came due to their fears of the legal question in case of proving any violations.
He added that the current government resolved this issue by setting determined rules to be implemented on those who want to get new industrial lands, and he gave evidence by presenting 5 million meters within the coming days in 9 industrial zones.
