Under the theme “Accelerating Diversification to Rebuild Prosperity by Leveraging Industry, Trade, and Investment,” the retreat gathered CEOs of agencies and Directors of the FMITI, and key stakeholders to outline actionable steps toward economic transformation.
A significant highlight of the retreat was the signing of performance bonds between the Honourable Minister and the Chief Executives of agencies under the FMITI. This act reaffirmed their collective commitment to driving industrial growth, facilitating trade, and achieving economic transformation.
