Mozambique | New Local Content law

Learn more about this significant development in Mozambique’s regulatory framework for the petroleum and gas industries.

Mozambique has approved a dedicated Local Content Law for petroleum and natural gas projects implemented under the Petroleum Law.

It establishes a structured framework for procuring goods and services, employing Mozambican labour, developing national suppliers and transferring knowledge within the petroleum value chain.

The new law marks a shift from broad local participation objectives to a more comprehensive operational compliance framework, bringing much-needed regulatory clarity to an area that has historically lacked a dedicated local content regime.
