Summary

The economy continues growing steadily. Inflation pressures have declined sharply reflecting lower food and fuel prices. A fiscal correction is ongoing following the fiscal slippages from implementation challenges related to the single salary scale adopted in 2022. The security situation in the north has improved and general elections are planned for October 2024. Mozambique is facing tight domestic financing conditions combined with an external funding squeeze.
