Finance and revenue departments of the province should be made more proactive and better communication should be established between the federal ministries and local departments to ensure smooth entry journey Linkages/DVA Since an overwhelming majority of the firms want to purchase good locally, the GoPunjab and its IPAs should help facilitate this with better information on potential linkages (an MIS system for the same would be useful) as well as policy on improvement of standard of goods / services and possible tax rebates on exploiting these linkages Protection and confidence GoPunjab should take measures on reducing corruption as well as the communicating on the perception of 'reduction in corruption' to increase investor confidence in business operations Incentives, grievances It is crucial that incentives should be communicated to the potential existing investors and the process of availing these incentives be made simple and easy.
