zwischen dem Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Arbeit (BMWA) und dem
türkischen Staatssekretariat für Schatzwesen (Hazine) zur Verbesserung der
Investitionsbedingungen in der Türkei fand am 28.6.05 in Ankara statt. In
Anwesenheit von Vertretern der türkischen Regierung und Wirtschaft sowie
Repräsentanten des BMWA hob der türkische Staatssekretär für Schatzwesen,
Ibrahim H. Canakci, die bereits erzielten Erfolge der türkischen
Wirtschaftspolitik der letzten Jahre hervor. Er wies in diesem Zusammenhang
auf die Fortschritte beim Abbau der bürokratischen Behinderungen hin. Dank
der verbesserten rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen durch das Mitte 2003 in Kraft
getretene neue Gesetz Nr. 4875 für ausländische Direktinvestitionen seien
diese von 1,7 Mrd. $ im Jahre 2003 auf 2,6 Mrd. $ im Jahre 2004 gestiegen.
Für den Zeitraum 2005 - 07 erwarte die türkische Regierung im
Durchschnitt jährlich mindestens 5,0 Mrd. $ ausländische Direktinvestitionen.
Die Zahl der Unternehmen mit ausländischer Kapitalbeteiligung in der Türkei
habe - so Canakci - von 6.378 Mitte 2003 auf 10.692 Mitte 2005
deutlich zugenommen. Das

support for key policy and institutional reforms. This assistance will be
channeled through a series of Development Policy Loans, the first of which
was approved for US$251 million. The Ukrainian government has an ambitious

finance management, and social inclusion. (Also see loan summary,

New School Brings Life to Remote Village in Bulgaria
The village of Liaskovetz in southern Bulgaria
looks abandoned, with greenhouses that were looted after collective farms
were disbanded in the early 1990s, a dilapidated school and streets that are
often silent as villagers are off minding sheep or tending to small plots of
land. But in a daycare center known as "Little Firefly," 22
children aged 3 to 6 play and dance in bright rooms, with central heating and
running water. The center is the culmination of efforts by an
energetic mayor who enlisted the help of Bulgaria's Social Investment Fund
rather than wait for other agencies of government to meet the needs of the
village. The Fund, supported by a $50 Mio. Bank loan to the Bulgarian
government, represents a faster and more efficient way of targeting
poverty. more 13.
