Mozambique Mining Report Q4 2014 - New Report Available

Mozambique will be one of the major growth stories in the global mining sector as investment in the country's sizeable coal reserves fosters rapid growth in output. We expect the value of the country's mining sector to grow from USD 0.4bn in 2013 to USD1.2bn in 2018 , an increase from 2.9% of GDP in 2013 to 4.2 % in 2018 .

Mozambique's nascent coal sector is set to take off in the next five years, boosting the country's mining industry. Almost all of the coal produced will be exported and thus Mozambique has the potential to become one of the largest global coking coal exporters, with India and China the main destinations. While the outlook for the sector is positive, there are major concerns surrounding the capacity of the country's infrastructure to cope with the projected increase in mineral production. Moreover, weakness in global coking coal prices will threaten mining companies' profitability.

In Q114, Mozambique's government announced its intention to increase taxation on the mining sector and to ensure greater mineral wealth allocated locally. Although we expect the country to remain amenable to foreign investment and to maintain a broadly attractive business environment, this policy move in the mining sector will be a cause for concern amongst investors.

Nevertheless, Mozambique is well positioned to benefit from increasingly stringent regulation and resource nationalism elsewhere on the continent, particularly in neighbouring Zimbabwe. Mozambique continues to pursue its goals of opening up its mining sector to greater foreign investment and boosting its competitiveness as a mining destination.
