A tensão entre a regulação excessiva e a liberdade de mercado em Moçambique

Abstract

This TFC discusses the tension between excessive regulation and market freedom in Mozambique. Essentially, we observed that Mozambique's economic regulation system is precarious and deficient, as there are no clear criteria and objectives defining the creation, functioning, composition, and legal framework of sectoral regulatory entities. The lack of clear criteria and objectives is due to the absence of a Framework Law that establishes the foundations for the functioning of regulatory entities. However, this results in a lack of uniform and systematized action by regulatory entities. We also found that there is no real excessive regulation in the Mozambican state's economic system, but rather an apparent one, as excessive regulation in certain sectors is due to the state's role as a guarantor of social justice, as a way to pursue the public interest.
