The Mozambican government celebrates the first half of 2026 with a positive revenue balance

According to the report, tax revenue exceeding 183 million meticais, inflation controlled at 4.57%, and more than 42,000 new jobs are some of the highlights of the semi-annual report presented this Tuesday by the Council of Ministers. The report reveals a Mozambican economy in sustained recovery, driven by export performance and direct support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.

The first half of 2026 brought encouraging signs for the Mozambican economy, as revealed by the Government spokesperson, Inocêncio Impissa, at the end of the 24th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers, held this Tuesday, August 11th.

Among the positive indicators, the collection of tax revenues stands out, exceeding 183 million meticais, reflecting greater economic activity and efficiency in collection. At the same time, exports registered significant growth, contributing to the improvement of the trade balance and the replenishment of foreign reserves.

On the price front, inflation stood at 4.57%, a figure considered stable and within the targets set by the monetary authorities, demonstrating the effectiveness of monetary control and exchange rate stabilization policies. Despite this favorable scenario, state expenditure reached 188,253 million meticais, corresponding to 36.2% of the total budget, which requires increased attention to balancing public accounts in the coming months.

Regarding support for the business sector, the Government has increased funding for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), benefiting 167 production units. This financial boost has had a direct impact on job creation, with the creation of 42,191 jobs during the first six months of the year, a number that exceeds initial expectations and reinforces the role of MSMEs as an engine of the national economy.

With these results, the Mozambican Executive reaffirms its commitment to continue monitoring macroeconomic indicators and adjusting public policies in order to consolidate inclusive and sustainable growth in the second half of 2026.
