Summary

The Mozambican financial system has made remarkable progress from mono-banking to a full blown, market-based, financial system. Although Mozambican banks are generally profitable and well capitalized, they are exposed to significant credit risk. A number of reforms are needed to enhance the independence of the central bank, to ensure it has the financial means to conduct its monetary policy under a very low-inflation environment, and to improve banks' appetite for making new credits in the difficult Mozambiques lending environment.
