The Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes this opportunity to support our City as eThekwini Municipality takes specific action to collaborate with the business community to find solutions that address our ailing economy. Over the years, the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry has partnered with eThekwini Municipality on numerous initiatives and will continue to work and engage with the City to ensure that Durban is a conducive environment in which to do business. Our key ambition is to help revive, revitalise and preserve the City so that we can truly live up to our City's vision to be Africa's Most Caring and Liveable City.

The Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry believes there needs to be stronger cooperation and collaboration between the private and public sectors to facilitate the recovery of our economy. Hence, the Durban Chamber strongly supports the establishment of the eThekwini Economic Council. As organised business, we are optimistic that this compact will help facilitate relevant strategic industry inputs and insights into economic development policy and also promote creative and innovative solutions to pressing economic issues.

We call on all our members to take advantage of the opportunity to engage the eThekwini Economic Council through the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry and strive to make a Durban a better place for all.
