Abstract
The Investment Climate Framework in Mozambique seeks to establish a comprehensive theoretical model that explains how various factors influence the country's ability to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This framework is crucial for policymakers aiming to improve economic growth and development. Theoretical development was employed, drawing from existing literature on investment climates, international best practices, and theoretical frameworks in resource-rich countries like Mozambique. Qualitative analysis of data sources such as official reports, academic journals, and expert interviews informed the framework's construction. The Investment Climate Framework provides a theoretical basis for understanding and improving Mozambique's investment climate, with specific recommendations tailored to policy implementation. Specific recommendations include enhancing regulatory efficiency, investing in critical infrastructure projects, and implementing targeted cost reduction strategies. These actions aim to create an environment conducive to FDI attraction.
