BPF at the Mozambique–Portugal Economic Forum

The Mozambique–Portugal Economic Forum, held on December 9, marked a decisive step in strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries, with the launch of a new €500 million financing line to support Portuguese business investment in Mozambique, consolidating a strategy to deepen bilateral economic and financial relations.

During the event, Luís Guimarães, BPF’s Chief Commercial and International Officer, highlighted the Bank’s central role in the internationalization of the Portuguese economy, emphasizing the importance of proximity to the business sector and public financial instruments as drivers of investment and economic cooperation.

As part of the strengthening of its international mandate, BPF continues to position itself as a pillar of public internationalization policy, providing financial solutions tailored to companies’ needs and the specificities of external markets, particularly in partner countries.

Evolving toward an integrated model of a Development Financial Institution (DFI) and Export Credit Agency (ECA), BPF is enhancing its capacity to support international investment projects across the entire value chain. In this context, SOFID, in the process of integration within BPF, plays a key role in deepening economic relations between Portugal and Mozambique and in implementing instruments aimed at structuring and impactful projects.
