AfricaPress-mozambique:<\/strong> The Mozambican Trade, Industry and Services Association (ACIS) on Tuesday urged a more simplified \u2018lay off\u2019 regime aimed at ensuring the survival of companies most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The president of ACIS, Lu\u00eds Maga\u00e7o, explained the organization\u2019s position when he spoke on the topic \u201cSocio-economic impact of Covid-19 in the region and recovery strategies\u201d at the first business forum of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) meeting taking place in the Mozambican capital.<\/p>\n

Business manager Maga\u00e7o, one of the most reputable economists in Mozambique, said that, among the measures necessary to keep companies in business, given the effect of the novel coronavirus, a \u2018lay off\u2019 \u2013 the temporary suspension of an employment contract \u2013 would be most welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rapid recovery of companies from the post-Covid crisis also requires more flexible labour legislation,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

The government must help companies withstand the consequences of Covid-19, Maga\u00e7o said, with measures such as reducing the cost of electricity in agriculture, and deferring the payment of taxes and National Institute of Social Security (INSS) contributions.<\/p>\n

The ACIS president also called for a preference for products and goods generated by local companies, with a view to strengthening the operational and productive capacity of the national business fabric.<\/p>\n

Maga\u00e7o also suggested that company and family debt should benefit from a moratorium, offering the economy a greater margin of recovery in the face of the pandemic.
\nExecutive secretary of the SADC Business Council, Peter Varnendel, warned of the risk of a protectionism on the part of member states in relation to their economies as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, defending support for companies, but with a focus on integration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to avoid the temptation of protectionism and move towards regional integration,\u201d Varnendel emphasised.<\/p>\n

The negative impact of Covid-19 should also leverage the industrialisation of less competitive countries and commitment to the transition to a digital economy, he added.<\/p>\n

The SADC Business Forum precedes the summit of the organisation\u2019s Heads of State and Government, which takes place in Maputo on Wednesday and will consider a response to offers of support in the fight against terrorism in northern Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The SADC comprises 16 states: Mozambique, Angola, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Esswatini, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, Tanzania, Zambia and Comoros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
