The Mozambican government has approved new regulations to expedite business licensing for activities deemed “low risk.” Under the new rules, permits for these activities can now be issued with a certificate within two hours. A key component of the change is the introduction of legally valid digital signatures, offering the same weight as traditional handwritten signatures. This digitalization aims to streamline processes and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for entrepreneurs. The move intends to foster a more efficient business environment and encourage economic growth. Authorities anticipate the changes will significantly reduce processing times and promote transparency. This new regulation impacts a range of economic activities classified as low risk.
