Almost
five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close
with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration, economic
dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged
civil war hindered the country's development until the
mid 1990's. The ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique
(FRELIMO) party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and
a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty
elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace
agreement between FRELIMO and rebel Mozambique National
Resistance (RENAMO) forces ended the fighting in 1992.
In December 2004, Mozambique underwent a delicate transition
as Joaquim CHISSANO stepped down after 18 years in office.
His elected successor, Armando Emilio GUEBUZA, promised
to continue the sound economic policies that have encouraged
foreign investment. Mozambique has seen very strong economic
growth since the end of the civil war largely due to post-conflict
reconstruction.

At independence in 1975, Mozambique was one of the world's
poorest countries. Socialist mismanagement and a brutal
civil war from 1977-92 exacerbated the situation. In 1987,
the government embarked on a series of macroeconomic reforms
designed to stabilize the economy. These steps, combined
with donor assistance and with political stability since
the multi-party elections in 1994, have led to dramatic
improvements in the country's growth rate. Inflation was
reduced to single digits during the late 1990s, and although
it returned to double digits in 2000-06, in 2007 inflation
had slowed to 8%, while GDP growth reached 7.5%. Fiscal
reforms, including the introduction of a value-added tax
and reform of the customs service, have improved the government's
revenue collection abilities. In spite of these gains,
Mozambique remains dependent upon foreign assistance for
much of its annual budget, and the majority of the population
remains below the poverty line. Subsistence agriculture
continues to employ the vast majority of the country's
work force. A substantial trade imbalance persists although
the opening of the Mozal aluminum smelter, the country's
largest foreign investment project to date, has increased
export earnings. At the end of 2007, and after years of
negotiations, the government took over Portugal's majority
share of the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectricity (HCB) company,
a dam that was not transferred to Mozambique at independence
because of the ensuing civil war and unpaid debts. More
power is needed for additional investment projects in
titanium extraction and processing and garment manufacturing
that could further close the import/export gap. Mozambique's
once substantial foreign debt has been reduced through
forgiveness and rescheduling under the IMF's Heavily Indebted
Poor Countries (HIPC) and Enhanced HIPC initiatives, and
is now at a manageable level. In July 2007 the Millennium
Challenge Corporation (MCC) signed a Compact with Mozambique;
the Compact entered into force in September 2008 and will
continue for five years. Compact projects will focus on
improving sanitation, roads, agriculture, and the business
regulation environment in an effort to spur economic growth
in the four northern provinces of the country. |
