Openness to Foreign Investment

Mozambique encourages foreign direct investment. CPI, the government’s Investment Promotion Center, seeks to bring investors to Mozambique and should be a potential investor’s primary contact with the government. CPI is particularly interested in increasing investment in the central and northern regions of the country in order to address large regional development imbalances.
