Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>By Alois Vinga<\/b><\/p>\n

VALUE added products recorded a 1.5% growth in the second quarter in a development which saw a number of sectors recording huge leaps on the back of recovering fundamentals, Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) reported Monday.<\/p>\n

Presenting the second quarter of the 2023 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report, the statistics agency said there was significant growth recorded across a number of the country\u2019s economic sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the period, Zimbabwe recorded a growth rate of 1,5% in Value Added from the first quarter of 2023 mainly on account of improved electricity production, increased mineral output, improved agriculture output, Increased manufacturing output and a surge in Accommodation and Food Services,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Accommodation and Food Services grew by 58,6% from -23,2% recorded in the first quarter of 2023, electricity production improved by 18,3% up from -21,6%, transport and storage 12,7% from \u2013 13,5% and manufacturing reached 4,9% from -35,9%.<\/p>\n

The top-performing sectors during the period were Wholesale and Retail Trade, Mining and Quarrying, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Finance and Insurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quarterly GDP estimate for the Second quarter of 2023 is ZWL56,7 billion. The quarterly GDP estimate for the second quarter in 2022 was ZWL 54, 3 billion. The 2023 Second quarter recorded a year-on-year growth rate of 4,5% when compared with the second quarter of 2022,\u201d said Zimstat.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is currently saddled with the pressing desire to spur productivity amid concerns that a significant proportion of foreign currency is being lost through imports.<\/p>\n

Official data shows that the country registered a negative trade balance of US$1,24 billion during the seven months to July, up 16% compared to the prior period partly attributed to the government\u2019s relaxation of basic commodity imports.<\/p>\n

In the first seven months, the trade deficit stood at US$1,07 billion during the same period last year.<\/p>\n

As part of efforts to stir value addition, the Zimbabwe National Industrial Development Policy (ZNIDP) is currently being developed and will be implemented between 2024 to 2030.<\/p>\n

It seeks to build on the initial one that envisions attaining a manufacturing growth rate of at least 2 % per annum and a manufacturing sector investment growth rate of 3% per annum while increasing the share of the Manufacturing Value Added (MVA) in GDP to 20% by 2030.<\/p>\n

The roadmap ambitiously intends to increase exports by 10% per annum and the share of manufacturing employment to a total of 20% by 2030.<\/p>\n
