Why does it matter?
- Households: Many families receive money from relatives in South Africa; a weaker metical means each rand is worth more meticais.
- Businesses: Importers pay more and exporters receive more meticais when the metical weakens.
- Government: Changes the metical cost of foreign debt.
- Investors: Currency risk on returns.
- Mobile money: ZAR/MZN changes the metical value of cross-border remittances from South Africa; effects depend on the rate the provider actually applies.
