The Prime Minister, Adriano Maleiane, drew, yesterday, in the Assembly of the Republic, an encouraging picture of the national economy, stating that it continues to register a trend of positive performance.

To justify his argument, the governor referred to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), saying that this indicator grew by 4,14% and 4,59% in the first and second quarters of this year, respectively.

In effect, the impulse for this growth was given, in Maleiane's reading, by the good performance of the agriculture, fishing, tourism, transport, manufacturing, mining and services sectors, among others.

For the time being, the Government has guaranteed that it will soon submit to Parliament proposals for revision of legislation with a view to attracting more investment, reducing the costs of doing business, and making the productive process in the country more flexible.

It is believed that in this way it will be possible. It is also believed that this will contribute to greater predictability in the performance of the Mozambican economy.

These are the VAT Code, Excise Tax Code, Customs Tariff, Corporate Income Tax Code (IRPC), Tax System, Mining Law, and Petroleum Law.
