Last month Adriano Maleiane, Mozambique’s central bank governor, announced the Banco de Moçambique’s latest estimates for the country’s GDP growth in 1999. Mozambique’s economy, he said, grew at a world-beating 10% last year.

That gives this former Portuguese colony in southern Africa three years in a row of double-digit growth rates and almost certainly the world’s highest rate of economic growth last year.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that this rapid growth has been achieved at a time of fast-falling inflation.
