According to the “Total movement of outstanding credit from the IMF (from March 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026)”, Mozambique is the only country in this situation among 85 countries listed.

In a statement, the CTA called on the government to pay attention to its large domestic debts.

“CTA is fully available to continue working closely with the government and other national and international partners in identifying and implementing solutions that promote sustainable and inclusive economic development. However, the government must pay its internal debts, especially those with private entities”, reads the CTA note.

The organization believes that, in the current context of extreme poverty, the country must reinforce the importance of deepening ongoing reforms, focusing on boosting the real economy and creating sustainable opportunities for citizens.

“The challenge is to ensure that this effort is complemented by policies that stimulate national production, private investment and the competitiveness of the economy”, the document reads.

The CTA also called on the government to consolidate a growth agenda based on trust, predictability and cooperation between different economic actors.

“Mozambique has significant economic potential, the realization of which depends on the collective capacity to align policies, mobilize investments and strengthen the role of the private sector as an engine of growth and job creation”, states the organization.

The CTA also encouraged the continuation of efforts aimed at strengthening the business environment, with greater stability and regulatory predictability; facilitate access to financing and foreign exchange for the productive sector; and implement balanced tax policies that encourage investment.

“CTA defends the promotion of national production and exports; investment in infrastructure and human capital; and the strengthening of public-private dialogue as a pillar of the formulation of effective policies”, the note reads.
