Countries like Sri Lanka should consider conceptualising and developing such an entity, which requires cutting through layers of bureaucracy and legislation, to ensure an almost effortless, seamless investor experience, according to MTI Consulting.

“Such an exercise requires bold commitment starting from the highest level of governance,” said MTI Consulting CEO Hilmy Cader.

At RDB’s One-Stop Centre, both new and existing investors can access all necessary services for setting up a business, either in person or virtually. All relevant ministries and state institutions are represented there, working together to ensure that doing business in Rwanda is as efficient as possible. Business registrations are completed within six hours, with ongoing efforts to reduce this time further and make the process virtually effortless.

MTI Consulting is currently working on Rwanda’s National Strategy for FDIs, Tourism and Exports – with RDB. As part of this assignment, MTI is studying Rwanda’s One-Step Centre for Investors. 

MTI Consulting is an international strategy consultancy, having completed 680 projects across 51 countries over the last 27 years, with seven regional offices and associates in over 30 countries.
