Mozambique is to reform laws governing investment in the country – a move which will create opportunities for logistics companies by creating an opportunity for them to invest in the country. Political stability, structural reforms and an opening to the global economy have generated robust growth since Mozambique emerged from civil war, according to an Investment Policy Review (IPR) by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad). The start of large-scale industrial projects via FDI in the mid-1990s sent a strong signal to the international investment community that Mozambique was “open for business”, according to the IPR. Commitment to the reforms was given at an IPR conference by Amélia Nakhare, deputy minister of planning and development of Mozambique. She said the reforms would be instrumental in improving the country’s business environment and in attracting more private investment to accelerate social and economic development.
