Mozambique’s Finance Minister, Carla Louveira, met with Paris Club Co-President Thomas Revial to discuss the nation’s economic situation and recovery prospects. The Mozambican economy showed positive recovery signals in early 2023, achieving 5.5% growth partly due to liquefied natural gas production. However, political instability following October 2024 presidential elections led to protests, economic disruption, and infrastructure damage, causing a 4.9% GDP contraction in the final quarter of that year and an annual growth of 2.15%. The economy rebounded in 2025, with a 5.1% growth in the fourth quarter, driven by the primary sector – mining, fishing, and agriculture. Current projections for 2026 anticipate moderate GDP growth of 2.8%, supported by exchange rate stability and controlled inflation. The meeting focused on navigating these challenges and sustaining economic momentum.
