Experts say Zimbabwe will grow its economy over the next three years despite global trade problems. The country expects 6 percent growth this year as farms recover from last year's drought. A better power supply helps businesses make more goods. Mining remains strong, with steady prices for most metals except gold.
The government plans to process more minerals inside Zimbabwe instead of selling raw materials abroad, creating jobs for local people. Statistics show that processed platinum rose 15 percent compared to last year. Gold, chrome, and ferrochrome producers also plan to refine more materials locally. According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency, manufacturing has grown 12 percent since 2024.
Companies have bought 20 percent more machines to make better products for export markets. Dr Abigail Chakona from the Institute for Development Studies believes this builds skills for future factories. Local firms need modern equipment to compete with foreign companies. Analysts see agriculture, mining, and factories all moving forward together. Zimbabwe continues to attract investors who see potential in its growing economy.
