Mozambique against its neighbours, Portugal, large emerging economies, Sub-Saharan Africa and the world. All series come from the World Bank, which harmonises definitions across countries; values are in US dollars or ratios, so no currency conversion is applied here.

Limits: dollar values move with exchange rates as well as real activity. Purchasing-power (PPP) comparisons use the World Bank's own PPP series only and are not applied to commodity prices or exchange rates. Retail prices are not compared across countries here: products, package sizes, taxes and market coverage differ too much for a fair like-for-like comparison from the available data. Exchange rates are each country's own currency per US dollar and are not comparable as levels, so they are left out.
