Diogo and Tomas Salomao (the finance minister from 1994 to 1999) dealt with chronic inefficiency and corruption in the customs services by farming out the management of customs to a British concern, the Crown Agents.

 Luisa Diogo Denies Resignation Story / News - Niassa Web Portal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Interviewed by Radio Mozambique, Diogo described the story as "false" and as "in very bad taste, coming as it does at a moment when the country is accelerating its efforts to fight against absolute poverty".
Before the story was published, Diogo had told an "Embondeiro" reporter it was not true - but the paper preferred its anonymous source to the Prime Minister's denial, and so told its readers that she had resigned.
Diogo suggested that the "Embondeiro" reporters were pursuing hidden agendas of their own.

Finance Minister Luisa Diogo on 10 September presented an amended budget for 2002 to the country's parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, seeking an increase in total expenditure of 11.4 per cent.
At first sight, the claim by Finance Minister Luisa Diogo that 47.5 per cent of all the expenditure planned in the budget passed last December had been made in the first six months of 2002, is undermined by figures showing much lower figures of budgetary implementation in the provinces.
Finance Minister Luisa Diogo retorted "it's very good to have a revised budget that increases expenditure rather than cutting it, which is normally the case in countries where governments amend the budgets".

This percentage rose from 61.9 percent in 1999 to 65.4 percent in 2001, and is expected to reach 66.1 percent this year.

 The Namibian | Moz gears for economic recovery after floods
Diogo said in an interview she was optimistic about the country's economic recovery from devastating floods earlier this year, saying work to rehabilitate roads, bridges and railways destroyed by the floods was speeding up after initial delays.
Diogo said with some of the US$480 million pledged by donors in April for post-flood reconstruction starting to flow in, efforts to rebuild homes and shattered infrast$ructure had picked up, with 90 per cent of the people displaced now resettled.
Diogo however said the country's efforts to plough more money into education and health as well as roads, bridges and railways continued to be hamstrung by the country's debts, which she said remained high despite having US$4,3 billion of its debt being written off.

Diogo has forecast Mozambique’s real gross domestic product at about 7.8 percent in 2003 from just under 13 percent in 2002 — still buoyant but slowed by floods and drought that led to starvation and food imports for some 650 000 people.
On Tuesday, Diogo said the 2003 budget remained on track despite the costly hosting of the African Union (AU) summit in July and financing municipal elections in November.
Diogo added that the government still planned to spend between 64 percent and 70 percent of its revenues on poverty reduction projects — education, health, water supply, agriculture and good governance.

Diogo stressed such measures as fumigating cashew trees (to deal with insect pests and fungal diseases), and assessing "the true customs value" of raw nut exports.
From Diogo's words it would be difficult for anyone involved in the cashew sector - the cashew industrialists, their workforce, or the peasant harvesters of the nuts - to take any comfort.
Asked whether they were going to reopen, finance minister Luisa Diogo told reporters in April: "The situation has already happened." The government is relying on smaller, supposedly more efficient and more labour-intensive plants to revive the industry.
