Portuguese government says companies should take advantage to invest now in Mozambique

The Portuguese Secretary of State for the Economy, João Rui Ferreira, called on Portuguese companies to take advantage of investment opportunities in Mozambique during the 61st International Maputo Fair (Facim), arguing that the country offers conditions to serve as an expansion platform in southern Africa. Approximately 100 Portuguese companies are participating in the event, which has almost 3,000 exhibitors from 29 countries. The government official considered the moment favorable for investment, highlighting the megaprojects for gas, the tourism sector, and the political proximity between Lisbon and Maputo, adding that he sees greater opportunities in local productive investment than in simply increasing exports. The fair, which runs until September 5, has the theme "Digital and energy transformation for a sustainable economy" and features Brazil as the guest of honor.
