Mozambique's finance ministry said on Friday that a recent International Monetary Fund mission could pave the way for a new support programme, though the fund indicated further economic reforms are required.

Securing a new deal is critical for the nation as it navigates a heavy debt burden and delayed Natural Gas export projects.
