Although there are many determinants to the growth, underlines the Investment Facilitation Center (CFI) "there is a fundamental factor that plays the most crucial role. It is the investment. Indeed, in a country with a dynamic economy, it is investment that made progress the society with its multiple linkages between the different economic agents.
