After that, the money will be split evenly between savings and annual spending, Tonela told lawmakers Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Government earnings from the projects already approved \u2014 including a $7 billion offshore platform that started exporting a year ago, and a $20 billion onshore plan that\u2019s currently frozen due to an Islamic State-linked insurgency in the area \u2014 will peak at more than $6 billion annually in the 2040s, Tonela said. The central bank will be the operational manager of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>The revenues will be crucial in helping Mozambique repay a $900 million bond that starts maturing from March 2028.<\/p>\n<p>The creation on the wealth fund for one of the world\u2019s poorest nations was a key requirement of the International Monetary Fund, which last year agreed to a $456 million economic program with Mozambique last year.<\/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>By Matthew Hill Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
