Summary

In early 2021, as monetary policy tightening reversed a multi-year trend of Metical depreciation, the exchange rate vis-à-vis the US dollar de facto stabilized. This report discusses elements of the market structure and other drivers of Metical stability since mid-2021. The particularities of Mozambique, a small open economy with an export sector that has a strong foreign currency cost structure, provide important insights into that discussion, as does the structure and development of the Foreign Exchange (FX) market.
