It analyzes drivers of growth, including resource developments and LNG-linked investment effects, and assesses macroeconomic risks. The report applies a spatial perspective using satellite data to track district-level dynamics and poverty trends. It also evaluates the role of services in growth and how corruption affects firm performance, culminating in actionable policy recommendations.","Public Disc losure Authorized  \nMOZAMBIQUE  \nCOUNTRY ECONOMIC  \nPublic Disc losure Authorized  \nMEMORANDUM  \nReigniting Growth for All  \nOctober 2021  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \n© 2021 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nSome rights reserved  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.
