Title
Extractive Industry Transparency Index 2019-2020
Abstract
The extractive industry, particularly the oil and gas sector, has proved promising in the Mozambican economy with potential to contribute to economic growth. It is expected that in the next 3 years the country will show growth in the order of two digits. However, in order to ensure the transmission of growth to economic development based on the exploitation of these resources, there are aspects that should not be ignored such as transparency in governance in the sector. This aspect is also recognized by the government of Mozambique through the Report on Transparency, Governance and Corruption published in July 2019, which emphasizes that the opacity in this sector can give rise to serious conflicts of interest and harm the perception of the population about the real benefits that this industry provides to the country. Although the country is part of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI), whose focus is on the reconciliation of payments made by companies and receipts reported by the Government in the extractive industry sector, there is a gap regarding detailed information on several aspects: tax, social, governmental and other equally relevant and that should be made available on a project-by-project basis.
