The Palestinian Investment Promotion Agency (PIPA)

The Palestinian Investment Promotion Agency (PIPA) was established in January 2000 as an autonomous institution. With a ruling Board of Directors composed of members from both the public and the private sector, PIPA takes a proactive role in promoting Palestine's advantages to investors while keeping a close eye on legal developments and their impact on the private sector.
PIPA is happy to provide investors with both a comprehensive one-stop-shop and Aftercare services.

The Palestinian Investment Promotion Agency (PIPA) was established in 1998 as an autonomous agency of the Palestinian Authority (PA), pursuant to the promulgation of the Investment Promotion Law. The law not only established PIPA, but it provided the bylaws by which PIPA would operate.

A One-Stop-Shop exists to assist all investors from licensing their projects, to acquiring permits, to obtaining incentives and income tax exemptions.

PIPA is proud to be able to list itself as one of the minority of Investment Promotion Agencies around the world which meets all three of the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies’ (WAIPA) key characteristics for an effective IPA:

1. Private Sector Participation – 40% of PIPA’s voting board members are drawn from the Private sector.
2. Political Visibility – PIPA’s Board has direct access to the Council of Ministers.
3. Autonomy – PIPA is an autonomous agency with legal authority in respect of any obligation, right, or legal act.

 

PIPA’s Mission:

To build a better future for all Palestinians by providing constantly improved customer service to foreign and domestic investors, by utilizing an effective One-Stop-Shop, special investment incentives and state of the art technology to attract investment. We facilitate cooperation between the private sector and the government, thereby creating and maintaining a more competitive investment environment.

How PIPA Can Help:

PIPA’s role does not end once a project has received all the immediate assistance available, whether that is incentives, or permits and income tax exemptions.

Aftercare support may not be as important a function for more economically stable countries around the world, but here PIPA views this function as key. We will continue to provide assistance to investors.
