SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS


The international commodity prices for gold,
platinum and nickel firmed, while those for
copper and crude oil retreated in August 2019.


Precious Metals
Precious metal prices rallied and sustained a
bullish run for a second consecutive month,
mainly supported by a positive investment
demand outlook. The decision by the Federal
Reserve to cut interest rates during the month
weakened the US dollar, a development that
boosted the appeal for precious metals as
alternative investment assets.

In addition, fears of a global economic
slowdown, coupled with escalating trade
tensions between the US and China, prompted
investors to move away from riskier assets,
bolstering safe haven demand for precious
metals such as gold and platinum.

Resultantly, monthly average prices for gold
and platinum rose by 6.0% and 1.7% to
US$1,498.27/oz
and
US$859.17/oz,
respectively, as shown in Figure 1.

Base metals

During the month under review, copper prices
remained largely depressed, amid heighted
uncertainties over the demand outlook for the
metal. Prices were largely weighed down by
concerns about the global economic slowdown,
attributable to the protracted trade dispute
between the US and China. Consequently,
copper
prices
declined
by
3.8%,
from
US$5,939.30 per tonne in July 2019 to
US$5,714.23 per tonne in August 2019.

Nickel
prices,
however,
rose,
following
speculation about the anticipated higher demand
for the base metal in car manufacturing
industries. Furthermore, the announcement
about the impending ban on nickel ore exports
in Indonesia, one of the world’s largest nickel
producers, heightened concerns about nickel
supply disruptions. Prices firmed by 16.1%,
from US$13,533.40 per tonne in the previous
month to US$15,717.43 per tonne, in the month
under review.

Brent Crude Oil
Brent crude oil prices declined on concerns of
ample global supplies, during the month under
review. This followed the rise in crude oil
stockpiles in the US, the world’s top oil
consumer. In addition, prices were also weighed
down by the escalating trade tensions between
the U.S. and China, a development which
intensified concerns about weakening global
demand. Against this background, oil prices fell
by 7.3%, from US$64.40 per barrel in July 2019
to US$59.73 per barrel in August 2019.

MERCHANDISE TRADE
DEVELOPMENTS

During the month of August 2019, total
merchandise trade amounted to US$729.6
million, a 11.1% increase from US$656.6
million recorded in the previous month. This
was
underpinned
by
increases
in
both
merchandise exports and imports.
Merchandise Exports
Monthly merchandise exports grew by 15.3%,
from US$299.5 million in July 2019 to
US$345.4 million in August 2019. The increase
was on account of higher export earnings from
gold (34.6%); nickel ores & concentrates
(21.5%); and flue cured tobacco (90.8 %).
Figure 4 shows developments in the country’s
exports for the period from July 2018 to August

The country’s export basket continued to be
biased towards primary commodities, including
gold, nickel, flue-cured tobacco, diamonds and
ferrochrome. These commodities contributed
about 76.0% of the country’s export earnings in
August 2019.

unwrought platinum are components of the platinum
group of metals (PGMs).

Merchandise Imports
Merchandise imports rose by 7.6%, to close at
$384.2 million in August 2019. This was largely
driven by a surge in imports of electricity and
medicines. Table 2 shows developments in the

Merchandise Trade Balance
The
aforementioned
merchandise
trade
developments resulted in a 32.7% improvement
in the country’s trade balance from a deficit of
-US$57.6 million in July 2019 to a deficit of
-US$38.8 million in August 2019. This was
mainly on account of the recovery in
international gold prices.

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS2
The annual growth in broad money3 continued
on an upward trend, registering a 107.37%
increase in August 2019, compared to 81.98%
recorded in July 2019. This was underpinned by
increases in transferable deposits, 132.53%;

adoption of an interbank market determined exchange rate

currency in circulation, 21.42%.

Month-on-month, money supply increased by

deposits, 8.22%; currency in circulation, 2.85%;
and negotiable certificates of deposits, 1.03%,

INFLATION OUTTURN


Monthly Inflation

Month-on-month inflation for August 2019,
decelerated further to 18.07%, from 21.04%
recorded in July 2019. This was on account of
decelerations in both food and non-food
inflation.

in meat, vegetables, milk cheese and eggs
underpinned the slowdown.

Similarly, non-food inflation retreated from
21.7% in July 2019 to 17.8%, during the month
under analysis. Education, health, clothing and
footwear, furniture and equipment contributed
to the deceleration in monthly non-food
inflation.
