USD to MZN Exchange Rate History — Mozambique
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Mozambican Metical parallel (black market) rate moved from about 75.6 MZN on Jul 20, 2026 to 75.56 MZN on Jul 21, 2026 — a change of -0.1%. Across that window the Mozambican Metical held broadly steady against the dollar, trading between a low of 75.3 and a high of 75.7 MZN, averaging 75.44 MZN per US dollar.
The metical's parallel quote tends to surface around large import payments and shifts in commodity earnings.
How to read the MZN rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many MZN it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Mozambican Metical is losing value (more MZN per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (75.7) and the low (75.3) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.2% around the average.
What has moved the Mozambican Metical recently?
In Mozambique, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as import financing needs, commodity cycles, dollar demand. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Bank of Mozambique (BM) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical MZN rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to MZN page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
