Further changes to compliance, competition, merger control and related matters are expected.There have also been changes to investment laws, following the adaptation of the Investment Law Regulation, providing a new institutional framework for investment processes for domestic and foreign investors, creating the Agency for the Promotion of Investment and Exports (APIEX).
