Africa-Press – Mozambique. The Mozambican government has announced that the State revenue collection, over the last year, reached 352.6 billion meticais (5.5 billion US dollars at the current exchange rate) corresponding to 91.4 percent of the annual target, compared to 91.6 percent recorded in 2024.
According to government spokesperson and Minister of State Administration, Inocencio Impissa, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, after the Council of Ministers (cabinet), the government achieved 77 percent of compliance with the evaluated indicators in the implementation of the Economic and Social Plan and the State Budget for 2025 (PESOE).
“The report details the Government’s performance in implementing the PESOE from January to December 2025, with an overall performance of 77 percent. Of the 470 indicators evaluated, 267 showed positive performance, 93 partially met the target, and 110 showed negative performance”, he said.
Impissa also revealed that public expenditure for 2025 reached the defined levels of 449.7 billion meticais, representing an achievement of approximately 86.5 percent of the target, “almost the same as the 89.7 percent recorded in 2024.”
“Over the last year, inflation was in the order of 4.37 percent, compared to 3.20 percent in 2024”, he said.
The spokesperson explained that the report will be submitted for approval by the country’s parliament, the Assembly of the Republic (AR), which starts activities on February 24th.
Mozambique has faced various economic challenges in recent years, including fluctuating inflation rates and public expenditure management. The government’s efforts to enhance revenue collection and budget compliance are crucial for sustaining economic growth and addressing public needs. The 2025 fiscal report indicates a slight decline in revenue target achievement compared to the previous year, highlighting ongoing economic pressures and the need for effective policy implementation. As the government prepares to submit its report to parliament, the focus remains on improving economic indicators and ensuring fiscal responsibility.
