Maputo, 14 Aug (AIM) – The Mozambican government collected, over the first six months of this year, 171.8 billion meticais (about 2.6 billion dollars at the current exchange rate) in revenue, which is 44.7 per cent of the target for all of 2025, set at 385.8 billion meticais.
According to the government spokesperson, and Minister for State Administration, Inocêncio Impissa, who was speaking to reporters on Tuesday, in Maputo, during the same period expenditure amounted to 213.4 billion meticais, representing 41.6 per cent of the annual target, compared to 226.5 million meticais in 2024. This was 39.9 per cent, representing a real decrease of 8.6 per cent.
Impissa explained that the first half of 2025 was marked by the effective implementation of the “Plan for the First 100 Days of Governance”, and the government approved the balance sheet of the Economic and Social Plan and State Budget (PESOE) for the first half of 2025.
The document will now be submitted to the Assembly of the Republic, the country’s parliament.
The Plan for the First 100 days of Governance, he said, took an integrated approach and reinforced the coordination between public policies and the implementation of the actions of PESOE.
“Despite the contraction recorded in the first half of 2025, as a result of post-election demonstrations, terrorism in some districts of the northern province of Cabo Delgado, extreme weather events and the effects of conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, we have seen improvements in macroeconomic indicators and political stability. We have also created financing lines for the productive sector, government actions aimed at the well-being of the population and economic recovery”, he said.
