Investment up

A Southern African regional bank executive says Mozambique could see a 10-fold rise in foreign direct investment in the next few years, news reports said.

The report said the investors were attracted by the government's commitment to privatisation and development. Development Bank of Southern Africa chief executive Ian Goldin was quoted as saying that Mozambique has become Africa's top foreign direct investment destination since 1996, when the government began revamping the economy. Goldin attributed Mozambique's
improving foreign direct investment performance to the country's political stability since 1992, when a 16-year civil war ended.
