Mozambique Macro Watch: The IMF has concluded its week-long assessment of Mozambique’s request for a fund-backed programme, saying growth is only gradually recovering from a 2025 contraction, while inflation and fiscal/debt risks remain. The Fund also reiterated that Mozambique’s debt was reclassified as unsustainable in February, linked to the 2016 hidden-debt scandal. Energy & Investment: Mozambique is pushing for private-sector investment to expand the electricity grid, with officials pointing to an approved electricity law aimed at transparency and legal certainty; the country is also promoting locally produced biofuels to cut exposure to global fossil-fuel price shocks driven by the Middle East conflict. Logistics & Growth: Mozambique’s transport minister says economic development needs integrated corridors and private investment across ports, rail, roads and aviation, arguing logistics should become a “linchpin” for transformation. Regional Maritime Security: SADC has handed over the keys to a new fisheries monitoring and surveillance coordination centre headquarters in Mozambique, boosting regional information-sharing and enforcement capacity. South Africa Migration Spillover: South Africa reports 2,745 voluntary repatriations in the past week, as xenophobia concerns grow; the IMF and regional governments are watching the economic and stability impact closely.
