Enterprise Investment Programme (EIP)
The Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies (MP), has approved the revised guidelines pertaining
to the Enterprise Investment Programme (EIP) and its sub-programmes, the Manufacturing Investment Programme (MIP) and
Tourism Support Programme (TSP).
The revised guidelines will become effective and be implemented as of 5 October 2009.
This is to allow the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) sufficient time to make the necessary
adaptations to its online application system. Hence, all applications submitted to and received
by the dti before 5 October 2009, should comply with the original guidelines
published in the Government Gazette, Vol. 517, No. 31226, dated 4 July 2008.
However, amendments to the following paragraphs in the revised guidelines will be implemented with immediate effect:
- Amendments to paragraphs 3.5 (MIP) and 3.8 (TSP) respectively, which relate to the acquisition of assets; and
- Amendments to Table A1 and A2 (MIP), which relate to the economic benefit criteria.
