These projects will receive preferential treatment in three areas: the opening of offshore accounts, currency convertibility guarantees, and enhanced debt-to-equity ratios. Moreover, the foreign currency convertibility guarantee grants strategic investment projects a faster pathway to currency convertibility and offers them a guarantee that surpasses all other foreign currency claims, except for sovereign debt claims.
