Mozambique is intensifying efforts to bolster industrial capacity and infrastructure through foreign capital and sector-specific modernization. The government is seeking investment from the UAE to diversify the economy, while Cimentos de Moçambique invests $150 million in facility modernization. To prioritize domestic production, new 2027 regulations will require importers to verify national market availability. Energy infrastructure is a major focus. A €20.8 million German-funded project has quadrupled the capacity of the Beluluane electrical substation, supporting a 40% increase in resident companies at the Beluluane Industrial Park. Additionally, the UK-based Gridworks and EDM have launched a pre-qualification process for a €386 million energy transport line to connect central and northern regions. Solar energy is also expanding; JCM Power was selected for a 30 MW plant in Tete, and Gaza province plans a $126 million solar plant to support the mining industry. In agriculture, the government aims to incubate 1,000 agribusiness entrepreneurs annually starting in 2026. However, economic challenges persist. S&P lowered Mozambique’s 2026 real GDP growth forecast to 0.7%, citing dollar shortages and climate disruptions. Public and guaranteed debt rose to approximately €15.2 billion in Q2, reaching 75.9% of GDP. To manage fiscal stability, the government approved the 2027 state budget proposal, projecting 1.6% GDP growth and aiming to reduce the budget deficit to 4.6%. ~~Furthermore,~~ To address reconstruction needs, the Assembly of the Republic approved a 2026 budget revision to incorporate €47.4 million in LNG ~~revenues~~ revenues.
