Economic analysts in Zimbabwe are divided on the 2025 outlook, with business sector growth reliant on the success of fiscal and monetary policies.
In an interview economist Professor Gift Mugano highlighted that while the business sector remains pivotal to the economy, economic growth this year hinges largely on the sustainability of the fiscal and monetary policies introduced by the government.
Meanwhile the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) remains optimistic, citing stable exchange rates and inflation thanks to the introduction of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency.
Despite inflation falling to below 5% in December 2024, concerns persist over the parallel market exchange rate, which has fluctuated. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) responded by raising interest rates to 35% and tightening liquidity to stabilize the economy.
