Note: Net lending/borrowing, also referred to as the overall balance, is a measure of a country's fiscal position, expressed as a percentage of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it indicates the difference between government revenues and expenditures, including any borrowing or lending to other sectors.
Key Takeaways
Mozambique’s fiscal trends reveal economic vulnerabilities and resilience. The 1990s saw steady improvements, with deficits narrowing to -0.3% in 1999 due to strong donor support and economic reforms. However, the 2010s brought fiscal crises, with deficits peaking at -9.8% in 2014 following a hidden debt scandal and falling commodity prices.

Recent years show signs of recovery, with surpluses projected from 2026 onward, reaching 3.9% by 2029. This turnaround reflects anticipated growth in resource revenues and fiscal discipline, signaling a positive shift for Mozambique’s economic outlook.
