Summary

The economic recovery is broad-based and strengthening. Inflation pressures remain moderate reflecting favorable domestic food production and stable fuel prices. Fiscal performance in 2022 was worse than expected, mainly due to slippage in the wage bill reform and revenue underperformance. Mozambique has been grappling with the impact of Cyclone Freddy and a persistent cholera outbreak. The security situation in the North has improved; municipal elections will be held in October 2023, and general elections in October 2024.
