The Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA) is pleased with the government's recent approval of the Medium-Term Public Debt Management Strategy 2025-2029.

This is a highly important measure for managing public debt and consolidating the country's financial policies, as it guides responsible public debt management, balancing cost and risk, and ensuring the credibility and sustainability of national economic policy in the medium and long term.

This strategy, by promoting a coherent and transparent approach to debt management, will contribute significantly to strengthening the confidence of economic agents and creating the necessary foundations for improving the business environment and macroeconomic stability.

CTA believes that this approval represents a decisive step in the government's commitment to results-oriented economic management, with a direct impact on Mozambique's financial credibility with its partners and investors.

“The implementation of this Strategy, together with other ongoing reforms, creates a framework of confidence that is essential to instigate the resumption of economic growth,” says the CTA in a press release.

Thus, the CTA recognizes the effort that the Executive has made in fiscal consolidation and the modernization of public management, essential elements to guarantee predictability and security for private investment.

It stresses that the approval of this Strategy comes at a time when the country has made significant progress in terms of credibility and institutional reform.

Mozambique's recent removal from the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) Grey List is an important achievement for the credibility and confidence of the national financial system and strengthens the country's position on the international stage.

“These milestones demonstrate the government's firm commitment to promoting economic and social development and create more favorable conditions for the resumption of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which is expected to grow from 2026 onwards, driven by structural reforms, including the implementation of the Investment Law and the Foreign Exchange Law,” says the CTA.

In this context, CTA stresses the importance of swift and effective implementation of the current reforms, in order to translate good policies into concrete results that benefit businesses and citizens.

The Mozambican private sector reaffirms its commitment to continue working hand in hand with the government, through the Public-Private Dialogue (PPD), to identify and resolve the constraints that affect the business environment, promoting a more competitive, productive and job-creating economy.

The CTA also encourages all living forces in society to focus on work, innovation and productivity as essential paths to inclusive and sustainable growth.

In an atmosphere of growing optimism, the CTA and the Government of Mozambique are moving ahead with preparations for the 20th Annual Private Sector Conference (CASP), which will be held under the slogan “Reforming to Compete: Moving towards Economic Recovery”.

This national landmark event will mobilize around 1.5 billion US dollars in new investment projects, reinforcing the role of the private sector as a driver of growth and a strategic partner of the state.

The CASP was preceded by the Business Environment Monitoring Council (CMAN), the body that manages and monitors the Dialogue between the Government and the Private Sector.

Finally, the CTA reaffirms its total willingness to continue leading and mobilizing the national private sector, promoting investment, productivity and wealth creation in the country.

The Confederation believes that consolidating public-private dialog, based on trust and a commitment to results, is the key to boosting the competitiveness of the Mozambican economy and ensuring a future of shared prosperity.
