Services provision is considered as one of the main factors for a successful investment
environment, so GOI has been serious to pay much attention to provide best services as

new commercial centers the matter that led to the large increase in the number of the
commercial malls in the last three years with more new ones that are still under
construction. Services sector participation in GPD is around 10% in fixed prices 2017.
