The International Monetary Fund concluded a visit to Mozambique on Friday, holding discussions on critical economic and financial challenges. IMF officials described the talks as productive, exploring potential support to address the country’s balance of payments and financing needs.
Mozambique’s economic activity is gradually recovering after a severe slowdown between October 2024 and March 2025, the Fund said in a statement. The Fund noted that targeted assistance could help stabilise Mozambique’s economy and support sustainable growth amid lingering fiscal pressures.
Officials emphasised the importance of sound macroeconomic policies to safeguard the recovery and enhance resilience against external shocks. Mozambique’s authorities welcomed the IMF’s engagement, expressing commitment to reforms that strengthen fiscal management and economic stability.
The IMF highlighted ongoing efforts to monitor economic developments, aiming to guide the country through its current financial challenges. Analysts say the visit underscores the delicate balance Mozambique faces between recovery and vulnerability in a volatile global economic environment.
The Fund’s statement reflected cautious optimism, suggesting that timely support and policy measures could restore momentum to Mozambique’s economy. Mozambique now faces the critical task of translating dialogue into tangible actions that ensure long-term economic stability and growth.
