Business cities

A number of lawmakers plan to make a proposal to the government requesting building six 'business cities' including integrated commercial complexes to be distributed to entrepreneurs in various governorates. Informed sources said each city should at least comprise 2,000 units to be distributed to entrepreneurs and new graduates for nominal fees in order to help the youth start their own businesses. The sources added that the Kuwait national fund for small and medium enterprises development is currently preparing a special accounting system to be used by entrepreneurs with the aim of enhancing control and reducing risks.
