Abstract
Investment climate in Mozambique has been a subject of interest due to its strategic location and potential for economic growth. A survey approach was employed to gather insights from various stakeholders including investors, policymakers, and industry experts. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The analysis revealed that infrastructure development is the most critical factor for FDI attraction in Mozambique, with a significant proportion (75%) of respondents citing it as crucial. While the investment climate has shown positive signs, there are still challenges such as regulatory uncertainty and limited access to finance. Recommendations focus on improving infrastructure and enhancing investor confidence through better regulatory frameworks. Develop strategic partnerships with international organizations for capacity building in key sectors, improve transparency in regulations, and provide incentives for foreign investors.
