Presidential Commitment to Economic Policy Reform
The President of the Republic of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, sent a clear message of commitment to achieving significant economic policy reform when he convened the highest levels of government, private sector, and international cooperation partners to discuss key challenges to improving the business enabling environment, and to outline a vision for the way forward. During the Business Environment Reforms Meeting (Encontro de reflexão sobre o ambiente de negócios em Moçambique) on November 3, 2017 President Nyusi and his government pledged to take strong steps to coordinate economic policy reform across Ministries, to develop a more ambitious policy agenda, and to ensure effective implementation of policy reforms. Presidential leadership to ensure coordinated and integrated policy reform actions across multiple Ministries has been a high priority issue for the private sector and international partners for twenty years.
