Official exchange rate, MZN per US$ (annual average)

What is this?

Yearly average of the official exchange rate (local currency per US dollar), reported to the IMF.

How to read it

  • Higher means a weaker metical. Each country's figure is in its own currency, so cross-country levels are not comparable.
  • Unit: MZN per US$.

What does the data say?

Official exchange rate, MZN per US$ (annual average) (Mozambique) is 63.91 MZN per US$ (2024), 197137.7% higher than in 1980. Over the last year: +0.0%.

Over all 45 observations since 1980, the highest was 69.47 (2020) and the lowest 0.03 (1980).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: A weaker metical makes imported fuel, wheat and phones dearer.
  • Businesses: Importers pay more; exporters earn more meticais.
  • Government: Raises the metical cost of foreign debt.
  • Investors: Currency risk.
  • Mobile money: Changes the metical value of remittances from abroad. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.
