" In order to facilitate FDI, the new Inland Revenue Act provides accelerated investment allowances over and above normal depreciation until companies recover their total fixed investment. The foreign exchange regime too has been liberalized to improve the investment climate via the new Foreign Exchange Act. However, analysts say that investors want consistent policy not so much the tax breaks and don’t want the policy to change each time the government changes.
