Yearly data from 1991 to 2025, from the World Bank.

| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 97.1% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 99.91% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 98.76% | 2015 |
| Highest | 135.27% | 2022 |
| Lowest | 39.01% | 1998 |
| Average since 2016 | 109.24% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 49.48% | 1991 |
Over five years it is down 2.8 percentage points from 99.91% in 2020. Since 1991 it is up 47.62 percentage points from 49.48% in 1991.
In 2025, Mozambique's trade (% of GDP) rose 1.47 percentage points on 2024 (from 95.63% to 97.1%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.23 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 12.29 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 23.2 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 29.25 percentage points in 2023. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 7% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Mozambique had the 47th highest value of the 137 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Trade is the sum of exports and imports of goods and services. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
