Mozambique: Households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure, linked series (current LCU)

Key figures

Over five years it is up 49.09% from 680.97 billion in 2020 (8.32% a year on average, compounded). Since 1991 it is up 20,582% from 4.91 billion in 1991 (16.98% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say

In 2025, Mozambique's households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure, linked series (current LCU) fell 5.5% on 2024 (from 1.07 trillion to 1.02 trillion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +16.2% and a typical year strayed about 15.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 67.3% in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.5% in 2025. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 67.83 billion a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

This field includes expenditure on goods and services by the Household and NPISH sector for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. This series has been linked to produce a consistent time series to counteract breaks in series over time due to changes in base years, source data and methodologies. Thus, it may not be comparable with other national accounts series in the database for historical years. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
