SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS

The international commodity prices of platinum,
copper, nickel and brent crude oil firmed during
the month of April 2019. Gold prices, however,
declined during the same month.

Precious Metals
The monthly average prices of gold continued on
a negative trajectory for the second consecutive
month on account of strong performance in
stocks. In addition, robust US economic data
boosted the US dollar and reduced the safe haven
demand for the yellow metal. Resultantly, the
price of the yellow metal retreated by 1.1%, to a
monthly average of US$1,287.04/oz in April
2019.

Platinum prices, on the contrary, rallied on strong
industrial demand from the car manufacturing
industries as well as growing demand from
jewellers. As a result, the monthly average price
rose by 5.2%, from US$843.07/oz in the previous
month to US$886.85/oz in April 2019. Figure 1
depicts the evolution of gold and platinum prices
for the period from April 2018 to April 2019.

Base Metals
Copper and nickel prices rose by 0.2% and 6.0%,
from
US$6,434.02/tonne
and
US13,019.04/tonne
in
March

to
US$6,444.38/tonne and US$13, 800.11/tonne in
April 2019, respectively.

The base metal prices firmed on prospects of a
positive demand outlook, following reports of
fresh stimulus measures in China, the world’s top
base metal consumer. In addition, prospects of a
quick resolution of the US-China trade dispute
also supported the prices. Growing demand in the
Chinese automobile industry, which uses nickel
in the manufacturing of car batteries, also
explained the increase in prices of nickel, during
the month under review.

Figure 2 shows the movements of base metal
prices for the period from April 2018 to April
2019.

Brent Crude Oil
Crude oil prices firmed by 7.3%, from a monthly
average of US$66.59/barrel in March 2019 to
US$71.45/barrel in April 2019, buttressed by
tight supply conditions. The conflict in Libya,

coupled with involuntary supply cuts from
Venezuela and Iran, also bolstered investor
perceptions of a tightening crude oil market.

Oil prices were also supported by OPEC member
countries’ voluntary production adjustments, in
order to bring more balance to the global market.

MERCHANDISE TRADE
DEVELOPMENTS

Total merchandise trade for April 2019
amounted to US$693.7 million, a 11.0% increase
from US$624.9 million realised in the previous
month. The increase was on account of a
significant increase in imports.
Merchandise Exports
Merchandise exports stood at US$277.0 million
in April 2019, representing a 6.4% decline from
US$295.9 million realized in the previous month.
The slowdown in monthly merchandise exports
was largely driven by declines in exports of
nickel,
flue-cured
tobacco
and
industrial
diamonds.

metals (PGMs).

The country’s exports were mainly destined for
South Africa, which accounted for about 46.0%
of total exports, followed by the United Arab
Emirates (20.0%); Mozambique (7.8%); and
Belgium and Zambia (2.0% each), as shown in
Figure 5.

Merchandise Imports
Merchandise imports amounted to US$416.7
million in April 2019, a 26.7% increase from
US$329.0 in the previous month. Fuel imports
continued to account for the largest component
of total imports.

During the month under review, diesel accounted
for 19.5%; unleaded petrol, 9.2%; medicines,
2.5%; and crude soya bean oil, 2.3% of total
merchandise imports. Table 2 shows the

The country sourced most of its imports from
South Africa (35.5%); Singapore (29.9%); China
(9.4%); India (3.7%); Zambia and UAE (1.8%
each); Mozambique (1.7%); and Japan and UK
(1.5% each), during the month under review. The
bulk of the country imports from Singapore were
mostly fuel (diesel and unleaded petrol). Figure

The substantial increase in imports resulted in the
widening of the country’s trade deficit, from
US$33.1 million in March 2019 to US$139.7
million in April 2019, as shown in Figure 7.

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS2

During the month of April 2019, broad money3
recorded a year on year growth of 45.14%, from
$7 822.58 million in April 2018 to $11 353.37
million in April 2019.

The annual growth in money supply reflected
expansions in transferable deposits of 54.30%,
currency in circulation, 41.45%, negotiable
certificates of deposits (NCDs), 8.16%; and time
deposits, 8.22%.

On a month-on-month basis, broad money
increased by 6.83%, from $10 627.38 million in
March 2019, largely due to the growth in
transferable deposits.


3 From November 2017, broad money adjusted by a
reclassification of lines of credit that were incorrectly
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.

During the month under review, transferable

4.33%; and negotiable certificates of deposits,
0.80%, as shown in Figure 9.

Credit to the private sector remained subdued,
despite recording an annual growth of 7.58%,
from $3 729.34 million in April 2018 to
$4 012.06 million in April 2019, largely as a
result of the decline in domestic economic
activities.

The sectoral distribution of credit to the private
sector was as follows: households, 25.69%;
agriculture,
18.62%;
services,
12.41%;
distribution, 13.61%; manufacturing, 9.98%;

STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

Trading on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange has
generally remained firm, with strong demand
characterising trading over a period of 3 months
to April 2019. Accordingly, the Top 10 and All
Share indices gained 12.03 points and 13.05
points to close the month at 133.69 points and
127.66 points, respectively.

Figure 11: Zimbabwe Stock Exchange All
Share and Top 10 Indices

The industrial index registered a 40.95 point
increase, from 405.57 points in March 2019 to
446.52 points in April 2019. The mining index,
however, recorded a month-on-month decline of
7.51 points to close at 186.47 points.

On a year-on-year basis, both the resources and
industrial indices recorded increases of 49.85%
and
35.04%,
respectively.
The
strong
performance was largely derived from risk
aversion as investors sought comfort in stocks.

The volume and value of shares traded on the
stock exchange registered respective increases
8.91% and 64.56% to 134.39 million shares and
$116.52 million in April 2019. The local bourse
registered two block trades in blue chip counters,
namely; Delta corporation (0.72 million shares at
227.00 cents) and Old Mutual (0.53 million
shares at 826.62 cents). The developments
reflected demand for big counters albeit on
limited trading volumes.

The positive sentiments on the stock market were
reflected in the overall market capitalization
which increased by 8.81% or $1.42 billion to
close at $17.50 billion in April 2019. On a yearon-year basis, ZSE capitalization rose by $8.10

INFLATION OUTTURN

Annual Inflation

Annual inflation surged to 75.86% in April 2019,
gaining 14 percentage points on the March 2019
rate of 66.8%, driven by both food and non-food
prices.

Year-on-year food inflation rose from 78.55% in
March 2019 to 92.52% in April 2019. Similarly,
annual non-food inflation accelerated from
61.2% in March 2019 to 68.17% in April 2019.

Monthly non-food inflation increased by 0.4
percentage points to 4.45% in April 2019, from
4.05% in March 2019. This was largely on
account of increases in diapers, children’s ware,
cement, water charges, bus fare and sanitary
pads. The increases were, however, partially
offset by marginal declines in housing and
alcohol beverages and tobacco.
