Initial efforts focused on diaspora engagement and investment reform.

Simultaneously, business groups advocated for a new Investment Law and the creation of the Suriname Investment and Trade Agency (SITA), citing a need for transparent criteria and legal certainty to prevent arbitrary treatment of investors. More recent developments involve legislative proposals from the Democratic Nationalist Party (DNL) regarding natural resource management.
