The Ministry of Industries has officially launched the National Industry Information System (NIIS), a comprehensive digital database designed to map the country’s industrial landscape. The system will track production capacities, raw material requirements, and export data in real-time.
“For too long, policy was made on estimates. Now, we have granular data to support entrepreneurs and direct incentives where they are needed most,” said the Minister of Industries. The platform is accessible to registered businesses, allowing them to find local suppliers and reduce import dependency.
