Mozambique is sitauted on the eastern coast of Africa directly opposite the Indian Ocean island
state of Madagaskar. The country has an extremely long coastline of warm tropcal water, and
with a reef stretching along the entire coast is a mecca fo scuba divers. It was explored by
Vasco da Gama in 1498 and colonized by Portugal in 1505. Mozambique (Moçambique)
was named by the Portuguese after Msumbiji, the Swahili name of Mozambique Island
and port-town.
Mozambique has a rapidly developing economy where continued sound economic policy has encouraged
vast amounts of foreign investment. Its population of just under 20 million has a GDP per capita
of $1300. The country has a labour force of just under 10 million people. The local currency in
Mozambique is the Metical (MTN/MZN).
