Mozambican economy remained lackluster in the final quarter of 2019, with annual GDP growth matching the third quarter’s 2.0% upturn—leading to the weakest expansion in over two decades for the year as a whole.
Although the primary sector recovered in Q4, mainly on the back of a rebound in fishery production, the industrial sector contracted amid a marked decline in manufacturing output. Meanwhile, the key mining industry shrank for the third quarter running.
Mozambican vehicles market is finally back on track, after an extremely weak 2015-2017 period of time, where registrations almost two-third of 2014 volume.

Indeed, in 2018 the market started recovering with 3.817 units sold (+54%).
In 2019, the market signed the second consecutive annual growth. Indeed, Full-year registrations have been 4.172, up 9.3% from the previous year.
