Overview

Mozambique’s government revenue has risen from a low of 11.36 in 1985 to 25.84 in 2025, placing the country 102nd globally and reflecting a 46‑year upward trajectory. The all‑time peak of 29.98 was recorded in 2014, after which revenue slipped modestly before stabilising at the current level. Compared with peers of similar rank, Mozambique’s revenue is slightly below The Gambia’s 26.18 and Jordan’s 26.20, yet marginally above Uzbekistan’s 25.52 and the Republic of Congo’s 25.13, suggesting that the country remains competitive within its income bracket. The long‑run increase is driven by expanding tax bases, higher commodity export earnings and gradual improvements in fiscal administration, although the post‑peak decline indicates vulnerability to external shocks and fiscal inefficiencies. Continued diversification of the tax system and stronger revenue collection mechanisms will be essential to sustain the recent upward trend and to close the gap with higher‑ranking peers.
