Real GDP growth

What is this?

How much more the economy produced than the year before, after removing price rises.

How to read it

  • Population grows about 3% a year, so growth below that means output per person is falling.
  • Unit: %.

What does the data say?

Real GDP growth (Mozambique) is -0.5 % (2025), 5.52 points lower than in 1981.

Over all 45 observations since 1981, the highest was 14.7 (1987) and the lowest -15.7 (1983).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Faster growth tends to bring more work and income, though not evenly.
  • Businesses: Demand usually follows growth.
  • Government: Growth drives tax revenue.
  • Investors: A core input for returns and debt sustainability.
  • Mobile money: Growth in trade and services may widen the pool of payers and merchants. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.

What should I watch?
