RTV - Infrastruktura privlači investitore

RUMA, SUBOTICA

Iako Vojvodina i u prvoj polovini ove godine beleži trend privrednog rasta, u pozitivnoj statistici ne učestvuju svi njeni delovi. Najbolje pokazatelje i dalje imaju Srem i sever Bačke, dok pojedine gradove investitori godinama obilaze.

Veliki broj komunalno opremljenih industrijskih zona, više od 4 hiljade hektara zemljišta i pristup panevropskim saobraćajnim koridorima, doveli su u Vojvodinu nove investitore i proizveli pozitivne ekonomske pokazatelje. Prvi preduslov, a to najbolje pokazuju sremske opštine, jeste da opština obezbedi infrastrukturu. U Industrijskoj zoni "Rumska petlja" ovih dana grade se još dve nove fabrike.

"U tim fabrikama koje su izgrađene, gotovo 1.500 ljudi je našlo zaposlenje i to je nešto što nam daje za pravo da kažemo da smo jedna opština koja ima dobro poslovno okruženje i poslovnu klimu i to su investitori prepoznali", kaže Slađan Mančić, predsednik Opštine Ruma.

All the investors who have opened their factories recently are already considering the extension of their production, and given that the business climate is very favourable and that the local self-government is fulfilling the needs of all the investors, I am convinced that the citizens of the Municipality of Ruma are to expect a more prosperous future.
