SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS


During the month of September 2019, the
international commodity prices for gold,
platinum, nickel, copper and crude oil registered
increases.

Precious Metals
Precious metal prices increased, on the back of
a strong safe haven demand outlook. This was
underpinned by rising political uncertainty in
the US, stemming from the impeachment
inquiry for the US President. In addition, weak
economic data from the euro zone stoked global
recession fears and bolstered the demand for
precious metals.

Against this backdrop, gold and platinum prices
firmed by 0.9% and 9.9%, to close at monthly
averages of US$1,511.27/oz and US$944.14/oz,
respectively, during the month under review.

Base metals

Copper prices rebounded during the month
under review, amid rising expectations for a
possible breakthrough in the on-going USChina trade talks. This followed reports that the
US had agreed to delay hiking tariffs on Chinese
imports.

The gains in copper prices were, however,
dampened by slowing global demand, amid
signs of weak industrial data of the Chinese
economy. Consequently, copper price increased
marginally by 0.6%, to close the month at an
average of US$5,750.61 per tonne, from
US$5,714.23 per tonne in August 2019.

Nickel prices sustained a bullish run, amid fears
of
shortages,
following
Indonesia’s
announcement of a ban on ore exports, starting
from January 2020. Resultantly, prices rose by
12.3%, from US$15,717.43 per tonne in August
2019 to 17,654.50 per tonne, during the month
under review.

Brent Crude Oil
Brent crude oil prices surged during the month
under analysis, on account of signs of declining
crude oil inventories in the US, the world’s
largest oil consumer. Furthermore, investor
expectations for further production cuts by the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
in 2020, also boosted crude oil prices.
Consequently, prices firmed by 5.0%, from a
monthly average of US$59.73 per barrel in the
previous month, to US$62.74 per barrel in
September 2019.

MERCHANDISE TRADE
DEVELOPMENTS

The country’s total merchandise trade increased
by 7.2%, from US$729.9 million in August
2019 to US$782.2 million in September 2019.
This was driven by increases in both
merchandise exports and imports.

Merchandise Exports
Monthly merchandise exports increased by
9.5% to US$378.4 million in September 2019.
This followed increases in export earnings from
flue cured tobacco (41.0%); nickel ores &
concentrates (31.8%); and gold (7.7%).

The country’s export basket continued to be
biased towards primary commodities, with gold,
nickel and flue-cured tobacco contributing
about 72.0% of the country’s export earnings,
during the period under review.

Merchandise Imports
Merchandise imports rose by 5.0% to US$403.7
million in September 2019, from US$384.4
million in August 2019. The increase was
largely on account of higher imports of diesel,
fertilizers, medicines and electricity, as shown
in Table 2.

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS2
The annual broad money3 growth rate stood at
139.79% in September 2019, an increase of
32.42
percentage
points,
from
107.37%
recorded in August 2019. This was largely
reflected in increases in negotiable certificates
of deposits (NCDs), followed by transferable
deposits, currency in circulation and other
deposits.
Figure 8: Broad Money in Levels and
Growth Rates
Source: Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, 2019

Credit to government registered an annual
growth of 39.43% in September 2019, compared
to 40.23% in August 2019. Annual growth in
credit to the private sector stood at 76.74%, up
from 63.75% in August 2019

2 All monetary numbers valued in Z$ since the adoption
of an interbank market determined exchange rate in
February 2019.
3 From November 2017, broad money adjusted by a
reclassification of lines of credit that were incorrectly
On a month-on-month basis, broad money
registered an increase of 19.59% to Z$23.55
billion, from Z$19.69 billion in August 2019.
The largest component of broad money was
transitory or transferable deposits in domestic
currency, which constituted 47.21% of total
deposits, followed by foreign currency deposits
at 41.86%, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Composition of Money Supply

Source: Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, 2019
The large share of foreign currency deposits,
however, partly reflects revaluation due to
exchange rate movements.
As at end September 2019, the sectoral
distribution of private sector credit was as
classified as deposits included in broad money. This
reduced the stock of money and at the same time reducing
the net foreign assets of other depository corporations.

INFLATION OUTTURN


Monthly Inflation

Monthly inflation, which has been on a
downward trend since June 2019, decelerated
further to 17.72% in September 2019, from
18.07% in August 2019. This was underpinned
by the decline in non-food inflation.

Non-food inflation stood at 16.63% in
September 2019, down from 17.78% in August
2019. This was, in part, underpinned by
increases in transport; and alcoholic beverages
and tobacco.

Monthly food inflation, however, accelerated
from 18.54% in August, to 19.54% in
September 2019, on account of increases in
bread and cereals, meat, vegetables and oils and
fats prices. Prices of bread and mealie-meal
surged, largely as a result of shortages of wheat
and maize grain, respectively. Meat product
prices also registered increases, particularly
pork and poultry, due to the rise in the cost of
stock feed.
