Mozambique's economy in 1995, where the process of gathering the data, creating the SAM and 'adjusting' it, is thoroughly covered by Arndt et al. (1997). On inspecting the changes made to the Mozambique's 1995 SAM to achieve balance is an adjustment of US$295 million which meant that $227 m US was added to the SAM net, just to balance the rows and columns. For 1995 this adjustment is equivalent to 11.65% of GDP. More disconcerting is perhaps the fact that agricultural producers (which according to FAO (1995) employed 85% of the labor force in 1994) were given a US$58 million pay raise in the SAM, meaning that 10% of agricultural income (equivalent to 5% of GDP) in the SAM was created, out of thin air. In other words, for a country where 38% of the population lived for less than $1 in the period 1994–2004 (UNICEF 2008), this SAM 'adjustment' added $4.40 to each person's income in the agricultural sector – more than any of the later trade and tax models using this SAM could arguably hope to achieve.
