Focus Elements of the Development Plan 2022-2026

[…] The business climate will be significantly improved in such a way that there is more incentive for the startup of new companies, product development, and increased value addition (to raw materials and semi-finished products) […] [moet]

More value addition drives innovation and the inclusion of technologies, resulting in higher margins which can overcome high logistical costs (and thus serve niche export markets), and leads to further diversification of the economy.

Additionally, this provides sufficient potential for Surinamese companies to participate in the lucrative supply chain for offshore activities – local content.

Revenues from offshore activities can be used for the prosperity and welfare of Suriname.

A good business climate and local content can thus ensure sustainable socio-economically acceptable employment (decent work), which in turn is the best means against poverty alleviation, crime, and violence, and helps with housing and inclusivity. […]

This cluster/growth pool concept is conducive to value addition, competitiveness, specialization, and the creation of decent work. […] These focus elements also place additional emphasis on SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure). [SDG]
