Qatari private conglomerate Al Mansour Holdings will invest US$20 billion in Mozambique, the presidency announced on 27th August 2025.
The deal will channel funds into energy, agriculture, oil and gas, renewable power, infrastructure, fisheries, livestock, tourism, housing, hospitals and logistics, according to a statement. Mozambique’s five-year development plan for 2025 – 2029 prioritises rural electrification and domestic gas production.
President Daniel Chapo, who took office in January, has also set out plans to revive agro-industry to complement subsistence farming. Roughly 80% of Mozambique’s cultivated land is currently devoted to food for household consumption, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Al Mansour’s chairman Sheikh Mansour bin Jabor bin Jassim Al Thani said the group aims to support, not compete with, local efforts. “We are not here to compete; we are here to complement. We are not here to take; we are here to build,” he said at the signing ceremony.
The Mozambique deal follows other large-scale investments announced by Al Mansour Holdings this month: a US$12 billion commitment to Botswana on 21st August, and a US$19 billion agreement with Zambia on 18th August. In April, Qatar and Egypt also finalised a US$7.5 billion investment pact.
