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 90% is high: higher than 81% of the 135 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Mozambique ranks 103rd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $39 per second, Mozambique adds about $3 million to its government debt every day — roughly $1.2 billion per year. Each of Mozambique's 37 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $606. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock by linear extrapolation from each country's baseline figure, named in the source line on this page (for most countries, the IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2026). Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
