The Kamoa-Kakula copper project by Canada's Ivanhoe Mines is on track to begin production in the third quarter of , while mineral production at existing mines will start to recover more rapidly around that time amid a firmer increase in global prices and demand. Steady mining growth will, in turn, slightly boost the government's spending capacity and indirectly support economic activity as a result.
Mozambique has seen generally rapid growth in the last few decades, although momentum has eased markedly in recent years, and in the economy likely contracted due to the impact of the Covid crisis. However, sky-high external debt, volatile energy prices and the Islamist insurgency in the north of the country pose risks. However, this is set to change as the coal sector continues to grow and LNG megaprojects commence. The services sector is gaining in importance, with robust growth seen in telecoms and banking during the past few years, while the country also exports electricity to neighbouring countries, including South Africa.
Mozambique is recognised as a resource haven. With coal and natural gas reserves estimated at 1. Following years of insecurity and political turmoil following independence from the UK in , Uganda has grown strongly in recent decades amid burgeoning industry and service sectors. However, it remains an extremely impoverished country.
The expansion should be driven by the development of the oil sector, construction, and services. Nonetheless, the flagship projects—including oilfield development and the crude oil export pipeline from Uganda's oilfields to Tanga port in Tanzania—remain at the planning stage. Given repeated delays, potential benefits from these will not be factored into our economic growth forecasts until private oil companies reach FIDs.
The potential finalisation of agreements in would pave the way for construction of the pipeline to begin and thus presents a major upside risk to our growth forecasts for Solutions are needed to prevent the backlog from causing massive economic harm.
The port also announced it will begin charging carriers for every container that sits idle over a grace period. While only temporary, this plan has drawn criticism for its unclear objective. Having the ocean carrier pay more does nothing to encourage the cargo interest to pick up the cargo. Regardless of the outcome, more permanent solutions will be required as online shopping continues to gain popularity. Carbon credits play a vital role in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Based on demand projections for carbon credits, the voluntary carbon market could grow up to fold by Voluntary carbon markets are where carbon credits can be purchased by those that voluntarily want to offset their emissions. According to the forecast from McKinsey , annual global demand for carbon credits could reach up to 1.
This has steep implications for the voluntary carbon market: McKinsey estimates that in just a fraction of these totals were retired by buyers, at roughly 95 million metric tons.
A carbon credit represents one metric ton of greenhouse gas GHG emissions. As companies contend with time and technological gaps in reducing their emissions, they purchase carbon credits to help offset their emissions. These purchases are facilitated by brokers who connect corporate buyers with project developers. Project developers create carbon offset projects, such as protecting mangroves or reforestation.
