Mozambique. The Mozambican economy maintained its robust performance in 2012 with a real GDP growth of 7.4%.
The progressive increase in coal production, the implementation of large infrastructure projects, coupled with credit expansion are expected to continue to drive growth to 8.5% in 2013 and 8% in 2014. In the face of declining external aid flows, government efforts to address the poor infrastructure and expand social safety nets will require strengthening the institutional framework to increase revenue collection, properly manage debt levels and improve investment planning. Despite more than a decade of sustained high economic growth, Mozambique’s economy did not undergo any significant structural change, limiting its capacity to sustainably reduce poverty and foster human development, still one of the lowest in the world. Mozambique continued its robust economic performance in 2012. The real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate increased by 0.1% from 2011 to 2012.

He said the greatest need was for jobs, for getting a steady income to support a decent life, and agriculture did not create enough jobs, but industry. "One hectare of land for agriculture may support one person but it can house a factory of 500 workers. "That was why Malaysia opted for labour intensive industries once land was no longer available for cultivation," he said. "Clearly, the leader of a nation plays a very crucial role in the country's development. Expert: Msia in transition, set to be fully developed.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has passed the stage of being a developing nation and is in a transitional phase to become a full-fledged developed country, a Finnish expert in the knowledge economy said.
Prof Pirjo Stahle of the Turku School of Economics said Malaysia needed to emphasise on providing basic education and to improve its democratic practices to speed up its development. Speaking at a public dialogue organised by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (Asli) at Sunway University College here yesterday, Stahle said Finland rose from being one of the poorest European nations in the 1990s to one of the most advanced in just 10 years.
