The Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry has set itself a target of seeing 32 new manufacturing companies set up in the country by March 2022.

This will be part of a broader goal to have 2,400 new businesses established within the same period, Mmegi has learnt.

The targets are contained in the 2021-2022 estimates released this week, which provide a Pula-by-Pula breakdown of how different ministries will spend their allocations from the recently unveiled budget. The targets cover the financial years 2020-2021 to 2021-2022, but were only made public in this week’s estimates.
