Mozambique's economic stability now depends on fixing its internal tax system.

Mozambique's government is facing a fiscal crisis. The World Bank report says the country needs to reform its tax collection to avoid instability. This means finding ways to collect more money from its own citizens and businesses.

For years, Mozambique has relied on external aid and resource revenues, which are unpredictable. This report argues that building a stable economy requires a strong domestic tax system. Without it, the country will remain vulnerable to shocks and unable to fund essential services consistently. This shift means the government must prioritize building its capacity to tax its own economy, rather than waiting for foreign money.
