The newly elected Parliament in Mozambique is set to hold its first ordinary meeting on March 31, reported local news agency AIM.

Included on the agenda will be the country’s budget for 2015. Mozambique’s new Government has set the economic growth target for the country in 2015 at 7.5 percent.

The Government also wants to keep inflation in check. It forecasts an inflation rate of around 5.1 percent for full-year 2015.

The members of Mozambique’s new Parliament were officially sworn in this January, following an October election.

The new Parliament includes 144 lawmakers from the ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique – known as Frelimo – and 89 from the main opposition party Mozambican National Resistance, known as Renamo.
