It is not at all uncommon for a two-bedroom apartment to cost $700 to $800 per month. • Adding to the demand from locals, are developers have to keep up the influx of foreigners moving to the city. The growth goes beyond housing. Shopping malls, restaurants, and warehouses are also part of the rapidly increasing demand. • LOGISTIC WAREHOUSE • Mozambique’s energy boom is complemented by a rapid infrastructure build. Yet transport capacity and logistics remain the biggest challenges in the country. The extractive sector is unable to transport all the extractives products.
