Zimbabwe lifts 2025 growth forecast on tobacco harvest, gold price rally
Last year, the Southern African country's commodity-dependent economy recorded growth of 2% as an El Niño-induced drought hit crop yields and hydropower, forcing it to import grain.
Agriculture has since recovered, with tobacco and maize output improving, while the gold price rally has boosted mining revenues.
"The higher projection is on account of more than anticipated output in the agricultural sector, particularly tobacco. . . and mining sector growth buoyed by high commodity prices, notably gold," Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube told an economic conference.
