There are undersea explorations for minerals (gold) with positive results. The Gas developments are moving into a new stage of developing a Liquefied Natural Gas project as well as a Gas Condensate project. The outcome is high demand for gas exploration licenses and many new companies have commenced exploration work. The investment incentive and tax regimes are considered very competitive and favourable.
In this regard, the Bank conducted a survey on firms' efforts toward promoting women's labor force participation by region and released the results as the annex to the Regional Economic Report in June 2017.4 According to this annex, women's labor participation is increasing in many regions and has led to improvement in business performance and productivity. Thank you for your attention.
