Survey of Mozambican manufacturing firms makes national headlines

The 2017 Survey of Mozambican Manufacturing Firms was launched on 23 April in Maputo. The launch brought together business owners, government officials, researchers, media and development partners to discuss and debate how to tackle issues which can be detrimental to the success of firms. The launch forum was followed by several news articles in the national media.

As part of the Inclusive Growth in Mozambique project, the report highlights the current challenges faced by micro-, small- and medium-sized firms in the country’s manufacturing sector. The event was opened by José Guambe, Director of the Centre of Economics and Management Studies, Fernando Lichucha, Director of the Faculty of Economics, Laura Torvinen, Ambassador of Finland, and Finn Tarp, Director of UNU-WIDER.
