Mozambique is positioned as an increasingly attractive destination for investors due to its strategic location in southeastern Africa, offering access to regional and international markets, and a business climate that supports foreign direct investment, according to the Investment and Export Promotion Agency of Mozambique (APIEX).
Over the past decade, the country has experienced significant economic growth, driven in part by substantial inflows of foreign capital. This dynamic has opened doors across a range of sectors, underpinned by reforms aimed at improving governance and facilitating private sector participation.
Mozambique’s geography and infrastructure make it a gateway to the Southern African region, with ports and transport links that connect landlocked neighbours to global trade routes. The nation also boasts abundant natural resources, fertile agricultural land, and a young, trainable workforce — factors that contribute to its competitive investment profile.
APIEX highlights that investors can benefit from a legal framework designed to protect and encourage long-term capital. Mozambique is a signatory to major international investment agreements and bilateral protection treaties, offering confidence and predictability for foreign partners.
Incentives are available under the national investment code, including fiscal and customs benefits that vary by sector and location. These measures are intended to support priority areas such as agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, industrial zones and large-scale projects, making the overall landscape more favourable for both local and international investors.
APIEX positions Mozambique as a market with competitive advantages, sustained growth prospects and ongoing efforts to strengthen cooperation with the global investment community, reinforcing its role as a viable and promising destination for capital deployment.
