Overview
Mozambique's remittances received stood at $289.1M in 2025, a rise of +$22.2M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $289.1M by 2025. Mozambique ranked 132nd globally.
Mozambique’s remittances received have risen markedly since the earliest record in 1980, when inflows amounted to 53,400,001.53, expanding to 289,075,525.50 in 2025, the 132nd‑largest total among World Bank‑tracked economies. The upward trajectory was punctuated by an all‑time peak of 417,729,496.41 in 2018, following a pronounced trough of 36,799,999.24 in 2000 that reflected the combined effects of regional instability and limited diaspora channels. Compared with peers of similar rank, Mozambique’s 2025 figure sits just below Mauritius’s 300,819,182.27 and above Tonga’s 274,478,422.45, underscoring its relative strength in attracting overseas earnings despite modest coverage of only 46 years. The sustained growth since the early 2000s suggests that continued improvements in financial inclusion, digital transfer platforms, and diaspora engagement could further elevate remittance inflows, potentially narrowing the gap with higher‑ranking neighbours.
