Spokesperson Salim Val\u00e1 stated that the government is closely monitoring the crisis and will announce measures to address it. Despite global pressures affecting fuel supplies, Mozambique has not raised fuel prices, unlike several SADC countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>The government has acknowledged that there is a shortage of fuel in major cities across the country, but assured that the situation is under control. The spokesperson for the Council of Ministers, Salim Vala\u0301, said the executive will announce key decisions to address the crisis at the appropriate time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation of the fuel crisis and its impact on the cost of living is real and must take into account the intensity, depth and duration of the conflict in the Middle East,\u201d said Salim Vala\u0301, speaking to journalists after the Council of Ministers session.<\/p>\n<p>The government acknowledged that although there is a global crisis, it is monitoring reports of pressure on fuel supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts limitation is something that is in the government\u2019s information and we will follow up on it (&#8230;) At this moment, the only essential message is that we are dealing with the issue, we are looking at it very carefully. Several SADC countries have increased fuel prices. Mozambique has not increased fuel prices due to this situation, but we are monitoring it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel shortages in Mozambique are influenced by global crises, including conflicts that disrupt supply chains. The government has been proactive in addressing these issues, emphasizing the importance of monitoring fuel availability and its effects on the economy. The Council of Ministers is expected to implement strategies to mitigate the impact on citizens, particularly regarding the rising cost of living. Historical context shows that Mozambique has faced similar challenges in the past, often linked to regional dynamics and international market fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know The Mozambique government has confirmed fuel shortages in major cities but reassured the public that the situation is manageable.
