Summary: | This Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD)
is designed to assess the key constraints and opportunities
facing Mozambique as it strives to sustain robust growth and
macroeconomic stability while accelerating poverty reduction
and promoting greater economic inclusiveness. The SCD is
organized into six chapters. Chapter two describes the
evolution of poverty and inequality, explores their regional
and demographic dimensions, and identifies strategies for
accelerating poverty reduction. Chapter three analyzes key
economic constraints and opportunities, identifying the
drivers of recent growth, describing developments in the
real sector and assessing emerging challenges associated
with the rise of the extractive industries. Chapter four
examines the inclusiveness of growth, presenting an in-depth
analysis of the labor market, the social sectors and the
ongoing urbanization process. Chapter five discusses fiscal,
institutional, political, social and environmental risks to
the sustainability of growth and poverty reduction. Chapter
six completes the analysis by identifying a set of priority
objectives for accelerating progress on the World Bank’s
twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and promoting
shared prosperity. |
