The International Monetary Fund has reached an agreement with Zimbabwe on a new ten-month monitoring program.
This emphasizes prudent budget execution, better control of liquidity and spending, sustained monetary discipline, and governance reforms aimed at strengthening transparency and managing fiscal risks.
Economic policies and reforms will therefore be monitored, with the aim of consolidating recent progress in stabilization and strengthening macroeconomic management.
This program also supports the authorities' efforts in social protection and is part of a broader strategy by Zimbabwe to establish a credible record of reforms and advance the country's re-engagement with the international community, particularly with regard to the settlement of arrears and the restructuring of national debt.
Zimbabwe's economic recovery continues, supported by a tight monetary policy, improved fiscal discipline, and favorable external conditions. Growth strengthened in 2025, exceeding the initial projection of 6.6 percent, thanks to strong performances in agriculture and mining, boosted by high gold prices and the recovery in platinum and lithium production.
