Within the scope of the Public-Private Dialogue (PPD), the Minister of Economy is the government’s focal point for private sector matters.

According to the vice-president of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), Onorio Manuel, the meeting with the government served to sow the seed.

“We already have the matrix identifying what the priorities are, what we are going to do as a new board and see what the best strategy is to address the problems,” Manuel said.

He stressed that the fact that the CTA has a new board does not mean that the old problems will be forgotten.
