Unveiling Mozambique’s Potential: A Business Perspective

Mozambique’s strategic location as a gateway to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) provides essential infrastructure such as ports, railways, pipelines, and roads for landlocked SADC countries.

Mozambique’s economic growth is primarily driven by its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sector, with Eni’s inaugural export from the Coral South project highlighting its global energy presence. With investments from major companies like Eni, ExxonMobil, and TotalEnergies, Mozambique ranks third globally.

Mozambique offers over 80 investment opportunities in resource extraction and energy, with infrastructure development being a priority. Private sector participation is crucial for unlocking Mozambique’s potential. Upgraded ports and airports enhance logistics, trade, and regional connectivity positioning the country as a strategic logistics hub. Mozambique’s tourism potential includes historical sites, beachfront properties, wildlife reserves, and integrated resorts. The nation’s rich tapestry of historical, cultural, coastal, and natural attractions awaits exploration.
