Millennium bim and the Agency for the Promotion of Investment and Exports (APIEX, IP) signed a memorandum of understanding this Wednesday (29), establishing a strategic partnership aimed at boosting foreign direct investment in Mozambique and strengthening coordination between the financial sector and public institutions.
According to an official statement, the agreement comes at a time when the country continues to record significant levels of external investment, positioning itself as a structured response to enhance the attractiveness of the Mozambican market and accelerate the realization of business opportunities.
Under the terms of the memorandum, Millennium bim will take on an enhanced role in supporting investment by providing competitive financial solutions and guidance throughout the entire project lifecycle—from entry to expansion.
At the same time, cooperation with APIEX is expected to strengthen investment attraction in priority sectors and promote a more integrated approach in engaging with foreign investors.
Quoted in the statement, the CEO of Millennium bim, Rui Pedro, said: “This partnership reinforces Millennium bim’s position as an active agent in driving investment in Mozambique, creating the conditions for the implementation of strategic projects with real impact on the economy.” Meanwhile, the Director-General of APIEX, IP, Luís Machava, highlighted that “the agreement represents progress in the country’s ability to attract foreign direct investment, offering investors a more integrated and efficient response.”
Planned initiatives under the partnership include participation in economic promotion activities, with a focus on the Annual Private Sector Conference (FACIM), support for the structuring of the Foreign Investor Guide, and the organization of economic briefings aimed at potential investors.
The agreement also includes support for business missions, the organization of sector-specific events, the provision of financial solutions under preferential conditions, and collaboration in APIEX’s institutional communication across digital channels.
Both institutions view the partnership as a key instrument for strengthening Mozambique’s business environment, contributing to the attraction of foreign investment and positioning the country as a competitive destination in the regional and international context.
