Twenty years have passed since Mozambique emerged from civil war, in 1992. Over this period the country has successfully made the transition towards a multiparty political system and market-based economy, putting in place an increasing number of measures to stimulate the private sector and improve the business climate. Thanks in part to the reforms of the past two decades, GDP growth has averaged 7.5% since the turn of the millennium. Although foreign direct investment inflows to Mozambique increased only gradually in the early 1990s, two mega-projects - in the aluminium and gas sectors - created a landmark change in the early 2000's. This Investment Policy Review illustrates the important progress made by the government of Mozambique in improving its investment climate over recent years. It highlights major initiatives and specific policy measures undertaken, as well as areas that need further reforms to attract more and better investment, both domestic and foreign. While numerous policy advances have been achieved, such as the elimination of many foreign investment restrictions and the elaboration of a regulatory framework for public-private partnerships, the Review identifies remaining challenges. These include an insufficiently transparent and predictable investment regime, large infrastructure gaps which especially hinder smaller entrepreneurs, and weak communication channels between public and private sectors.
