Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s Vice President James Wani Igga said on Thursday that his government has implemented policies and reforms to encourage investment in the country\u2019s economy, which is currently struggling with hyperinflation and high food prices.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks at the opening of the Juba Economic Forum in Juba this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Igga, who also chairs the country\u2019s economic cluster, said the government aims to promote a conducive atmosphere to attract investors to participate in the country\u2019s untapped economic potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to ensure that both local entrepreneurs and international investors see our beloved country and its friendly people as a welcoming hub for investment,\u201d he said. \u201cPolicies and reforms have been implemented to reduce barriers, enhance infrastructure, and guarantee security for investment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Juba Economic Forum is an annual gathering of key economic sector players who meet to brainstorm on the challenges, strengths, and weaknesses of business opportunities in the economy. Organizers said participants include entrepreneurs, think tanks, business people, and academicians who will hold discussions on economic matters over three days.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s gathering, the third since its launch, is organized under the theme \u201cPromoting Commercial Agriculture as a Pathway to Economic Stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same event, South Sudan\u2019s Minister of Agriculture and Food Security appealed to donors and development partners to support food production to address the persistent food security shortage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the right policies, investments, and partnerships\u2014including the use of cooperatives to transform agriculture\u2014we can turn our agricultural sector into a thriving commercial industry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
