An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team conducted a visit to Maputo, Mozambique, from February 19 to March 4, 2025. The delegation was led by Mr. Pablo Lopez Murphy. The purpose of the visit was to discuss policy implementation under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement. Additional discussions about program reviews continued virtually after this period.
The discussions resulted in the decision by Mozambican authorities and IMF staff not to move forward with the remaining reviews under the current ECF-supported arrangement. Instead, to better align with the priorities and vision of the new government, Mozambican authorities have requested to start discussions on a new IMF program. These discussions with IMF staff will commence in the near future.
