On 03 February 2026, the Prime Minister, Benvinda Levi, speaking in Dubai, at the Global Investment Summit on Africa, which brought together political leaders, financial decision-makers and international investors, said that Mozambique ports and logistics corridors are strategic assets for cooperation with international corporations interested in investing in the sectors of energy and the blue economy. Mozambique has various strategic assets such as natural gas reserves, the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric dam, and crucial minerals, especially graphite, gold and rubies. Levi explained that the mere existence of assets is not enough to attract international capital, with credibility being a determining factor for investor confidence.
Leaders of Tanzania, Mozambique and the African Development Bank examined at a session, titled “Government and the Future of Investment: An African Perspective”, how the continent can unlock private capital at a pivotal moment in its economic transformation, at the World Governments Summit (WGS 2026). Prime Minister Levi focused on Mozambique’s progress in structuring large-scale energy and infrastructure investments. She cited the resumption of the Mozambique LNG project led by TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil’s Rovuma LNG project, ENI-operated floating LNG platforms, and a new $5 billion hydroelectric partnership with EDF and Sumitomo. According to Levi, Africa’s challenge lies not in a lack of assets, but in bridging the gap between those assets and global capital through better governance, risk mitigation, and project structuring.
