The Rise of Mozambique

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Can one of Africa’s fastest growing economies stave off political instability and corruption? Tony Bonsignore has been speaking to people in Beira about their changing aspirations and hopes for full employment. We hear from José Forjaz, a world-renowned architect and a key member of Mozambique's first independent government who is hugely critical of the country’s current leadership and the widening gap between rich and poor. The Minister of Trade and Industry Max Tonela responds, explaining what they are doing to encourage business and fight corruption. (Picture: Buildings under construction in Maputo, Mozambique.
