The proposal to create the Chimoio
Special Economic Zone (ZEEC), in Manica province, central Mozambique, will soon
be submitted to the Council of Ministers, said the national director of
industry, Mateus Matusse, quoted by daily newspaper Notícias.
Speaking recently at a meeting held in
that city to present and discuss the proposal, Matusse said the ZEEC will
create many jobs, as it will re-launch industrial units that have been at a
standstill and encourage new domestic and foreign investments.Among the
companies that could be revitalised is Textáfrica, a textile factory that has
not been operational for about 20 years and which employed more than 1,000
workers.During the meeting, which was promoted by the Investment and Export
Promotion Agency (Apiex), Mateus Matusse said that a technical office will be
set up in Chimoio to analyse and grant licenses to projects in the special
economic zone.The creation of a Special Economic Zone in Chimoio was proposed
by the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, and, more recently, the Prime
Minister, Carlos Agostinho do Rosario, met with the workers of Textáfrica to
convey the desire to make Chimoio into an industrial and commercial city in the
short and medium term.
