GDP is expected to grow by five per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The government, said Maleiane, had drawn up its plan and budget in an international context strongly marked by the consequences of the Russian war on Ukraine, by the prevalence of terrorist raids in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, and by an increase in extreme weather events, arising from climate change. All this worsened the already complex challenges of managing the Mozambican public finances.<\/p>\n<p>Maleiane believed that in 2023 economic growth will rely on greater dynamism of private investment, notably in agriculture, industry and construction. To stimulate the economy, the government intends to make available to the private sector business opportunities valued at 134.2 billion meticais (about 2.1 billion dollars, at the current exchange rate) for the provision of goods, services and investments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the growth in foreign demand, the higher prices on the international market, and the start of operations of the floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) platform, an increase is forecast in the export of goods and services\u201d, said the Prime Minister. This would be a \u201chistoric reduction\u201d in the deficit on the Mozambican balance of trade.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 budget puts total public expenditure for the year at 472.1 billon meticais. 26 per cent of the budget will go to education and 13 per cent to health, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Max Tonela, told the Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government is continuing to bank on financing the social sectors\u201d, Tonela said, \u201cparticularly education, health and social welfare, seeking to provide primary services to the public\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the investment in roads and bridges envisaged for 2023 is over 500 billion meticais.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
