No wp-2018-56, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: In common with several other low-income African economies, in recent years Mozambique has seen a significant expansion of interest and investment in its long-established extractives industries. Huge new gas finds in particular have led to expectations that these industries will contribute very significantly to the country's future economic development and structural change.
