Overview
Mozambique's credit to gdp stood at 15.63% in 2025, a decline of +1.97% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 15.63% by 2025. Mozambique ranked 127th globally.
Mozambique’s credit to GDP ratio has risen steadily since the early 1990s, moving from 10.69 in 1991 to a World Bank‑reported 15.63 in 2025, placing the country 127th in the global ranking. The indicator peaked at 32.05 in 2015 before retreating, while the lowest point occurred in 2004 at 6.79, underscoring the volatility of external financing over the 35‑year span. Compared with regional peers, Mozambique’s 2025 ratio is slightly above Algeria’s 15.59 but below Madagascar’s 17.25 and Tanzania’s 18.36, suggesting a moderate position within Southern Africa. The post‑peak decline reflects tighter credit conditions and fiscal consolidation efforts, yet the recent upward trajectory indicates renewed access to international capital markets. Continued improvements in fiscal discipline, infrastructure investment, and macro‑economic stability could sustain the modest rise in credit availability, while any reversal in external financing conditions would likely temper the forward momentum.
