Abstract

The economic transformations underway in our country, the highest point of which is the Economic Rehabilitation Programme (PRE), translate, in a global context, into the need to rethink and adapt all the mechanisms that drive national economic activity, with a view to building a healthy and functional structure, since this is the only way to achieve general wellbeing and harmonious development, the hallmark of the economic policy of the People's Republic of Mozambique. In this communion of efforts - because all individuals are called upon to participate - since they are, in one way or another, active or potential economic agents through their participation in the spheres of production, exchange or consumption, a major role falls to the government entities, which have the difficult task of formulating economic policies and directives. These and because they are necessarily adjusted to the context, will drive the other economic agents, leading them to follow the path of production of much needed material goods and services. Thus, it is always appropriate to mention that permanent consultation with the promoters of economic activity, and the constant exchange of information, will be a fundamental therapy in the sanitation of situations in which the removal of bureaucratic obstacles that most often strangle production, the lack of up-to-date information that can lead to poorly adjusted formulations and guidelines, are evils that must be eradicated urgently. Thus, new forms of relationship are a requirement of rigour. In this way, it will be possible to constantly rebalance the economic system, thus avoiding distortions and the wearing out of the few resources available, whose subsistence has negative repercussions on the national economy as a whole. A brief glance at a recent historical period reveals that, with the advent of National Independence, major changes occurred in the Mozambican economic order. Initially, there was a massive flight from the workforce, investment retraction took shape and even significant disinvestment took place, culminating in many cases in the destruction of capital goods, leading to the virtual paralysis of numerous production units. Such tendencies had to be halted, not only by adopting the relevant legal provisions but also through more direct state intervention, which resulted in the creation of business units of a new type: state-owned enterprises.
