Avaliação critica do desempenho das principais componentes da balança de pagamentos de moçambique no período 1999 a 2005

Abstract

The critical assessment of the performance of the main components of Mozambique's balance of payments in the period 1999 to 2005, falls within the scope of evaluating the results of the country's accession to the hipc initiative (11 years later). With this theme it is intended to critically show the evolution (performance indicators of external accounts and external indebtedness) and the trend of performance of the main components of the bop (current account, capital and external financing) in the period 1999 to 2005. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative analysis was used using bibliographic, documentary, graphs, tables, absolute numbers, ratios and averages, supported by two mutually exclusive hypotheses (h0 and hl), to support or reject the conclusions of the research. It was concluded that the main components of the bop of Mozambique in the period 1999 to 2005, evolved in the negative direction, as recommended by the alternative hypothesis (hl), despite the significant reduction in the global balance of the bop, the good performance of the import coverage ratio exports and the positive effect of mega-projects, which contributed to an improvement in the global balance of payments deficit. In light of the above, it is urgent to assess the future challenges for Mozambique's balance of payments, in relation to the country's position regarding: floods, instability of external financing, export of primary products, agro-industrialization, subsidies to support export and labor intensive
