IIR Industry Alert: $2.8 Billion Infrastructure Projects Supported by Power, Mining and Other Industrial Development in Mozambique


Tuesday August 27, 8:00 am ET




HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2002--Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources Inc.; Houston). Mozambique is becoming a significant target market for a wide range of transport engineering, civil engineering contracting and supporting supply chain infrastructure providers. In the period up to 2010 there are plans in the rail, harbor and airport sectors worth around $2.8 billion. These target projects include and are backed by an integrated scheme of mining, power, agricultural, tourist and manufacturing projects, which will support and develop the viability of the transport sector investment. Mozambique has a profile as an investor-welcoming and tax-happy investment destination with a real urge towards good business governance. Government concern for the plight of the population after brutal civil war and a series of fatal natural disasters is providing a standpoint to fight post-colonial and newly empowered bureaucratic and commercial corruption. Integration with the aims and objectives of close neighbor South Africa lends weight and viability to the macro planning.
