In other news, latest data from the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency indicates positive growth in the manufacturing sector during the fourth quarter of 2023.

ZimStat said products manufacturing output increased by 12,2% in 2023 in a development likely to see the country’s import bill declining if the trend is sustained going forward.

These positive developments come on the background of the implementation of the Zimbabwe National Industrial Development Plan (ZNIDP 1) 2019 to 2023 which was credited for the promotion of capacity utilisation from 47% to 56,1% between 2020 and 2022.

The shelf-space occupancy of locally produced products also increased from 55% in 2021 to over 80% in 2022 with exports of manufactured products also increasing by 12,9% from US$324 million in 2021 to US$366 million in 2022.

In its recent report, ZimStat pointed highlighted that the Volume of Manufacturing Index (VMI) for the Fourth Quarter of 2023 increased by 12,2% as compared to 127,5% registered in the corresponding period in 2022.

“The Fourth quarter 2023 Volume of Manufacturing Index was 143.15, reflecting a year-on-year percentage increase of 12.26 when compared to 127.51 recorded in 4th quarter 2022 Quarter-on-quarter analysis reflects a 4.81 percent increase from 136,58% in 3rd quarter 2023,” the statistics agency said.
