Formerly one of the world’s poorest countries, Mozambique has benefited from various macroeconomic reforms – the country grew at an average annual rate of 6% to 8% in the decade up to 2014, one of Africa’s strongest performances. While subsistence agriculture employs the vast majority of the country’s workforce, Mozambique’s ability to attract large investment projects in its vast natural resources is expected to extend high growth rates in coming years. These resources include natural gas, coal, titanium and hydroelectric capacity. The country is also home to Cahora Bassa hydroelectric generation station, which is a significant contributor to the Southern African power pool.
