About Mozambique's National Debt
Mozambique was rocked by a 2016 hidden-debt scandal involving secret state-backed loans; it is banking on vast offshore gas projects to eventually transform its strained finances.
Mozambique's debt-to-GDP ratio of 103% exceeds the IMF's 90% threshold associated with potential growth drag. Stabilising it would require sustained primary surpluses — spending less than tax revenue before interest. By total government debt, Mozambique ranks 98th of the 137 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $57 per second, Mozambique adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $2 billion per year. Each of Mozambique's 32 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $755. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
