Analysis# Mozambique National Debt (% of GDP)
Mozambique's national debt reached 99.9% of GDP in 2026, placing it near historically elevated levels but notably below its all-time peak of 124.8% in 2016. Since 1999, the country's debt burden has increased by 5.5 percentage points overall, rising from a low of 31.2% in 2007. The 27-year trend reveals a substantial shift from the relatively modest debt levels of the 2000s toward a persistently constrained fiscal position.
A critical inflection point occurred between 2016 and 2023, when Mozambique reduced its debt ratio by nearly 34 percentage points—from the 2016 peak to 90.9% in 2023. However, this progress reversed sharply in 2024 and 2025, with debt climbing back above 97%. The current trajectory suggests stabilization near 100% of GDP rather than sustained improvement, signaling continued fiscal pressure for the country.
