“Government is creating the most business friendly environment in which businesses can flourish and create jobs. There are also measures to reduce cost of doing business and improve business environment. As you are aware, there has been a reduction in tariffs, and abolitions of taxes are undertaken to stimulate enterprise activities and growth,” he said.
