Mozambique's Ministry of Finance, speaking at the Mozambique Stock Exchange (BVM) 2026 awards ceremony in Maputo, reiterated the government’s commitment to building a strong, transparent and inclusive capital market and positioned capital market development as central to the country’s financing strategy. Finance Minister Carla Loveira said Mozambique’s development requires diversified and sustainable funding increasingly based on mobilising domestic savings and attracting foreign investment, with capital markets serving both as an alternative to bank financing and as a channel to broaden access to investment and strengthen domestic businesses. BVM President Pedro Cossa said the awards recognise the role of listed companies in developing Mozambique’s capital market, while Cabo Verde Stock Exchange President Júlia Aves da Cruz highlighted a renewal of the cooperation commitment signed in 2022 to share knowledge between the two markets.
