Mozambique President Daniel Chapo on Friday appointed Carla Louveira as finance minister and Estevão Pale as mineral resources and energy minister.
Louveira was the deputy minister of economy and finance from 2020, and worked alongside co-deputy minister Amílcar Tivane from 2022. She has also held the role of director of the Office of Financial Inclusion at the Bank of Mozambique.
The economy and finance ministries have now been split into separate entities, the president said.
Pale was appointed chairman of Mozambique’s national oil company ENH in 2020 and previously held the position of national director of mines in the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy.
He is likely to play a key role in engagements with energy majors like TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil who are poised to restart mega liquefied natural gas projects in the Southern African country.
