Ease of doing business in Mozambique
Mozambique, a country with immense potential and growth opportunities, has been making strides in fostering an environment conducive to international business. According to the World Bank’s latest Ease of Doing Business Index, Mozambique’s rank reflects the country’s ongoing commitment to improving its business climate and attracting foreign investments.
This rank holds significant implications for global organizations looking to expand their operations in Mozambique. A favorable business environment translates to streamlined processes, reduced bureaucratic hurdles, and increased predictability in navigating local regulations. Mozambique’s government has been proactive in implementing reforms that simplify procedures, enhance transparency, and promote a stable legal framework to support international businesses.
It is essential for organizations to remain vigilant about the nuances of the local employment landscape.

Hiring in Mozambique

Social security in Mozambique
Social security contributions in Mozambique are payable monthly on all salaries, wages, regular bonuses, or other regular income, excluding meal subsidies. Employers contribute an amount equal to 4% of monthly salary, while employees contribute 3% of their monthly salary. The employer is responsible for withholding the employees’ contributions.
Foreign employees may apply for exemption from registration with the social security system provided that they are contributing to a similar system in their home country. However, it is essential to verify the applicability of this exemption on a case-by-case basis.
It is worth noting that social security in Mozambique provides some important benefits and protections to employees, such as pensions, disability benefits, and death benefits for surviving dependents. In the case of work-related accidents or illnesses, employees are also entitled to occupational health services and rehabilitation.
By leveraging Breedj’s Mozambique employer of record (EOR) services, your organization can ensure full compliance with social security regulations.
