UAE-Mozambique trade hits $2.5b as CEPA talks conclude
UAE, Mozambique conclude CEPA negotiations as non-oil trade reaches around $2.6 bn
The United Arab Emirates and Mozambique have finalized negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), as announced in Abu Dhabi. The agreement, which will reduce customs duties and remove trade barriers, was concluded with the participation of Mozambique's President Daniel Francisco Chapo and the UAE's Minister of Foreign Trade Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi.
Once implemented, the CEPA will boost trade and investment between the two nations, particularly in sectors such as energy, logistics, agriculture, and manufacturing. The agreement comes as bilateral non-oil trade between the UAE and Mozambique has surged, reaching US$2.5 billion in the first nine months of 2026, a 49% increase from the same period in 2025.
