Tibet will try to introduce an investment of seven billion yuan (1.03 billion U.S. dollars) from other parts of China and the world in 2010, according to Tibet Business.

The Tibet Autonomous Region had brought in such an investment of six billion yuan in 2009.

Introducing investments has been conducive to Tibet's opening wider to the outside world, the restructuring of its industries and expansion of the job market.

Many enterprises at home and abroad, such as the Danish company Carlsberg Group, Western Mining Co. Ltd. and China Huaneng Group, have invested in the region.

In 2010, Tibet aims to offer more preferential treatment to attract investment, create a better environment for investors and provide effective and one-stop services for them.
