Natural resources, institutions, and economic transformation in Mozambique

Jose Jaime Macuane and Carlos Muianga

No wp-2020-136, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: In the light of Mozambique's natural resources boom—especially its large-scale investments in mining, oil, and gas—this paper analyses the prospects for the extractive industries to contribute to economic transformation from an institutional perspective. To this purpose, we address the institutional dynamics of the resources sector and consider the underlying causes of the identified outcomes. The National Development Strategy, as the instrument presenting the vision for economic transformation and diversification, is discussed.
