MOZAMBIQUE: SLOW ECONOMIC RECOVERY POSES NEW AND OLD CHALLENGES

   Wed, 10 March 2021

The pace of Mozambique’s economic recovery will be one of the slowest in Africa this year, which is again raising concerns over debt sustainability and the prospect of socio-economic unrest. To reach its record economic targets in coming years, Mozambique needs to shore up a new programme with the IMF, curb a resurgence in coronavirus infections, handle the fall-out over new state corruption allegations, and continue to attract investment in the liquefied natural gas sector. This is a tall order for the government, although the ruling party is boosted by the implosion of the political opposition.
