Data analysis involved thematic coding and content analysis. Interviews revealed that a conducive regulatory environment, supported by transparent legal frameworks and effective dispute resolution mechanisms, significantly influences FDI attraction in Mozambique. The investment climate in Mozambique is critical for enhancing its attractiveness to foreign investors. Recommendations include improving regulatory clarity and fostering investor-friendly policies. Develop clearer and more consistent regulations; enhance the efficiency of legal systems; and provide more accessible dispute resolution services.
