Yalta’s First International Economic Forum ends in Crimea

In Crimea, Yalta’s First International Economic Forum has ended, as a result of which local authorities received 28 applications from those who wish to become members of the Free Economic Zone (SEZ) on the territory of republic and Sevastopol.

In the two days of the event's work, 600 delegates participated in it, among them 34 representatives of foreign companies from 13 countries: Italy, Slovenia, Turkey, Japan, China, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Greece, Israel, India, Ireland and others.

"We had a fairly significant international format, and everyone is willing to invest. If we have a comfortable environment and the Europeans realize that it will be safer to keep their money here than in a Swiss bank, believe me, investors will be here," the portal South quotes the head of Crimea, Sergey Aksenov.
