SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS

Monthly average prices for selected precious
metals, base metals as well as Brent crude oil
were generally subdued on the global markets,
during the month of April 2022. Commodity
markets were largely weighed down by a
stronger US dollar and slackening demand in
China, the world’s largest consumer of metals.
The low demand was on account of the
imposition of strict lockdown measures by
China, in the wake of a new wave of Covid-19
infections.

Precious Metals

Gold
Gold prices averaged US$1,934.47 per ounce
in April 2022, a decline of 0.7%, from
US$1,947.60 per ounce recorded in the
previous month. The decline was underpinned
by a stronger US dollar, following the US
Federal Reserve’s decision to further hike
interest rates. The expectations of an aggressive
monetary policy tightening by the Federal
Reserve prompted investors to shift from the
non-interest yielding bullion to interest-bearing
and riskier assets.
Platinum
Platinum prices were largely bearish, falling by
7.7%, from a monthly average of US$1,044.65
per ounce in the previous month to close the
month under analysis at US$963.76 per ounce.
Prices retreated due to a strengthening US
dollar and the slow- down in global demand
from the automotive industries, particularly in
China.
Palladium
Palladium prices ended the month of April
2022 at an average of US$2,321.76 per ounce,
down from US$2,596.43 per ounce in the
preceding month. The retreat in prices was
triggered by a large sell-off, coupled with
mounting concerns over weak demand in
China. Figure 1 shows precious metal price
developments for the period from April 2021 to
April 2022.

Base Metals

Copper
Copper prices remained subdued, owing to
sluggish demand from China, coupled with a
firming US dollar. Against this backdrop, the
red metal’s monthly average price eased by
0.5%, from US$10,218.64 per tonne in the
previous month to US$10,163.20 per tonne in
April 2022.

Nickel prices declined by 10.9%, from a
monthly average of US$37,002.57 per tonne
recorded in March 2022 to US$32,984.74 per
tonne, during the month under review. Prices
eased as demand for the metal was dented by
the new Covid-19-induced lockdowns in
China. Figure 2 shows developments in base
metal prices for the period from April 2021 to
April 2022.

Brent Crude Oil
Brent crude oil prices retreated during the
month under analysis, on concerns over weak
demand in China, the world’s second largest oil
importer. Prices declined by 6.8%, to a monthly
average of US$105.46 per barrel in April 2022,
from US$113.18 per barrel recorded in March
2022. Figure 3 shows developments in Brent
crude oil prices for the period from April 2021
to April 2022.

MERCHANDISE
TRADE
DEVELOPMENTS

The country’s total merchandise trade fell by
3.7%, from US$1,271.4 million in March 2022
to US$1,224.5 million during the month under
analysis. This was, in large part, due to a
significant decline in merchandise imports. In
comparison with the corresponding period in
2021, total merchandise trade was 21.1%
higher.
Merchandise Exports
Merchandise exports rose by 5.3% to US$587.3
million in April 2022, from US$557.6 million
in March 2022. Similarly, on an annual basis,
exports for the reporting month were 32.1%
higher, compared to the US$444.7 million
recorded in the corresponding month in 2021.
The developments in the country’s exports for
the month under review are as shown in Figure

Figure 4: Monthly Merchandise Exports
(US$ m)

Source: ZIMSTAT, 2022
The surge in monthly exports was largely on
account of increases in exports of gold,
(30.5%); Tobacco (20.9%); and PGMs (1.6%).
Gold exports in particular, were boosted by
robust
safe-haven
demand,
spurred
by
uncertainties emanating from the geopolitical
tensions in Eastern Europe and the attendant
soaring global inflation.
Most metal prices, particularly for nickel and
copper, rose significantly owing to strong
demand, as the world transitions from fossil
fuels to green energy. Table 1 shows
developments in the country’s exports for the
months of March and April 2022, respectively.

Mozambique (4.3%). Figure 5 shows the
country’s major export markets, during the

Merchandise Imports
The country’s import bill declined by 10.7%,
from US$713.8 million in March 2022 to
US$637.2 million in April 2022. Compared to
the corresponding month in 2021, however, the
April 2022 outturn was 12.4% higher, as is
shown in Figure 6.

The country’s import basket was mainly
dominated by the liquid fuels, that is diesel;
(11.4%) and petrol; (5.5%). Additionally, the
country also received an aircraft valued at
US$23.6 million, accounting for 3.7% of the
total imports during the month under review, as
is shown in Table 2.

in March 2022 to a deficit of US$49.9 million

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS1

Broad money amounted to ZW$671.37 billion
in April 2022, up from ZW$589.09 billion in
March 2022. The money stock was largely
composed of local currency deposits, 54.47%;
and foreign currency deposits, 45.01%.

Month-on-month, broad money increased by
13.97%,
largely
reflecting
increases
of
ZW$56.79 billion and ZW$27.00 billion in
local
currency
transferable
and
foreign
currency deposits, respectively.
During the month under review, net domestic
claims increased by 19.18%, to ZW$4507.57
billion. The growth was largely due to increases
of ZW$54.85 billion and ZW$23.04 billion in
credit to the private sector and net claims on
Government, respectively.
On an annual basis, broad money registered a
growth of 156.17%, down from 404.15% in
April 2021. The local currency component of
broad money grew by 155.04%; while foreign
currency deposits increased by 156.57%. The

well as valuation changes due to exchange rate

The annual growth in broad money was largely
driven by increases of 263.17% and 240.68%
in net claims on Government and credit to the
private sector, respectively. Net credit to
Government, however, included the accounting
treatment of the drawdowns on special drawing
rights (SDR) allocated to the country by the
IMF.
Credit to the private sector mainly benefited the
agriculture and household sectors, which
received 26.06% and 22.09% of the total credit,
respectively.
The
manufacturing
and
distribution sectors also received 12.08% and
11.48%, respectively, while the share of credit
to the rest of the economic sectors are shown in
Figure 10.

Credit

Credit to the private sector was largely
channeled towards inventory build-up, 32.56%;
other recurrent expenditures, 29.37%; and
fixed capital investments, 16.28%.

INFLATION OUTTURN

Annual Inflation

Headline inflation accelerated from 72.70% in
March 2022 to 96.43% in April 2022. This was
attributable to the resurgence in adverse
inflation expectations, coupled with external
factors such as the rise in international oil and
food prices. Both annual food and non food
inflation increased, during the month under
review.

Annual food inflation surged by 28.96
percentage points to 104.05% in April 2022,
from 75.09% in March 2022. Prices of cereals
increased against a background of the rise in
international food prices. Year-on-year nonfood inflation also accelerated from 70.87% in
March 2022 to 90.62% in April 2022.

The annual blended inflation2 rate accelerated
from 29.82% in March 2022 to 40.99% in April
2022, driven by both blended food and nonfood inflation.


Monthly Inflation

Monthly inflation rose by 9.23 percentage
points, from 6.31% in March 2022 to 15.55%
in April 2022. Increases in both monthly food
and non-food inflation were recorded.

Month-on- month food inflation increased from
6.03% in March 2022 to 18.47% in April 2022.
This was driven by bread and cereals;
in price of goods and services sold in the two main currencies
in circulation, namely the ZW$ and the US$.

percentage points to 13.27% in April 2022,
from 6.54% in March 2022. Housing water
electricity gas and other fuels; transport; and
miscellaneous goods and services, had the
highest contribution to the rise in monthly nonfood inflation. Figure 13 shows the month-onmonth inflation profile.
