The Mozambican government has agreed to amend the law to cut red tape and so make Mozambique more attractive to investors, Lusa reports.

The Portuguese news agency quotes an official of the Mozambican Council of Ministers, Ana Comana, as saying: “We intend to ensure faster and simpler procedures and improved competitiveness to make the business environment more attractive for investment.”

Ms Comana said the goal was to put Mozambique on the map for investors by lowering or removing bureaucratic hurdles standing in the way of investment, so reducing any need to resort to litigation, Lusa says.
