The north’s ‘economy minister’ Olgun Amcaoglu on Thursday evening promised that “at least 28,000 new jobs” will be created as a result of the decision to relax laws relating to the operation of casinos.
Speaking to Kibris Postasi TV, he said he expects the ruling coalition to grant permits for 32 new casinos to open.
“With these permits, it is expected that at least 28,000 new jobs will be created. Around 40,000 people are currently employed in the tourism sector. There will be a significant increase in this number with the new permits. This situation is a great opportunity for the country’s economy,” he said.
