Reference Value Report: Living Income Report 2020 for Rural Mozambique
This report updates the Anker Living Income Reference Value for rural Mozambique to June 2023. The living income was estimated at MZN 9,121 (USD 142) in the original 2020 report. The update takes into account the amount of inflation to June 2023 for the country since mid-2020. Accumulated inflation in this period is estimated to be 26.8%. Without accounting for inflation, the living income estimated in 2020 would not be sufficient for families to have a basic but decent standard of living in 2023, because the purchasing power of the living income would have decreased.
