SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS

International commodity prices for selected
precious metals, base metals, and crude oil,
were largely subdued, during the month of
December 2021. This was largely due to a
stronger US dollar and investor concerns over
the effects of the Covid-19 omicron variant, on
global economic recovery.

Precious Metals

Gold
On a month-on-month basis, gold prices
retreated by 1.6%, from a monthly average of
US$1,820.26 per ounce in November 2021 to
US$1,790.63 per ounce, during the month
under
review.
This
followed
investor
expectations that the US Federal Reserve
would accelerate stimulus tapering, amid
growing concerns over rising US inflation. The
stronger greenback also exerted downward
pressure on gold prices, which was, however,
capped by the demand of the yellow metal as a
safe-haven asset.

Platinum
Platinum prices retreated by 8.6%, from a
monthly average of US$1,034.95 per ounce in
the previous month to US$946.39 per ounce,
during the month under analysis. Prices were
weighed down by subdued demand for
industrial metals, particularly in China and
Europe. Furthermore, the investment demand
outlook for the metal was dented by a stronger
US dollar. Figure 1 shows the evolution of
precious metal prices for the period from
December 2020 to December 2021.

Base Metals

Copper
Copper prices declined by 2.4%, from an
average
of
US$9,765.48
per
tonne
in
November 2021, to US$9,530.48 per tonne in
December 2021. Prices were also weighed
down by a stronger US dollar, and fears of
waning demand, amid signs of economic
slowdown in China, the top consumer of the
base metal.

Nickel
During the month under review, nickel prices
retreated due to concerns over slowing demand
for the metal, as Covid-19 omicron variant
cases surged. Slackening demand from the
stainless-steel industry, particularly in China,
also exerted downward pressure on the price of
the base metal. Prices retreated by 0.3%, to a
monthly average of US$19,911.86 per tonne in

Brent Crude Oil
Brent crude oil prices remained bearish, on
concerns over waning demand, as some
countries
started
to
re-impose
travel
restrictions, to curb rising Covid-19 omicron
variant cases. In addition, fears of a global glut,
following reports by the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), indicating that the global
oil market was in surplus, negatively impacted
on prices. Against this backdrop, prices eased
by 8.0%, to close the month under review at an
average of US$74.53 per barrel, from an

rate in February 2019.
average of US$80.99 per barrel in the previous
month. The developments on oil prices, for the
period from December 2020 to December
2021, are as shown in Figure 3.

MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS1

Broad money amounted to ZW$475.36 billion
in December 2021, compared to ZW$437.92
billion in November 2021. The money stock
was composed of 55.18% in local currency
deposits and 44.33% in foreign currency
deposits. Currency in circulation constituted
the remainder of 0.49% of total money supply.

During the month under review, domestic
claims rose by 16.61%, to ZW$340.29 billion.
The growth was driven by expansions of
35.79% in net claims on Government, and
10.56% in credit to the private sector. The
growth in net claims on Government was an
accounting entry reflecting the country’s
drawdowns of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)
allocations from the IMF.
On an annual basis, broad money registered a
growth of 131.83%, down from 485.55% in
December 2020. The local currency deposits
component in broad money grew by 161.21%;
and foreign currency deposits by 103.13%;
while currency in circulation increased by
93.86%, over the year to December 2021.
In particular, the increase foreign currency
deposits from ZW$103.73 billion in December
2020 to ZW$210.70 billion in December 2021,
was largely due to an increase in the value of
foreign currency accounts (FCA) deposits from
US$1.27 billion in December 2020 to US$1.94
billion in December 2021. Revaluation due to
exchange rate movements also contributed to
the increase in the local currency equivalent of
the FCA deposits.
The annual growth in broad money was largely
due to increases of 574.75% and 270.05% in
credit to other financial corporations and net
claims on Government, respectively. Banking
sector credit to Government was mainly in the
form of Treasury bill holdings by banks. Credit
to private sector rose by 198.58%, while claims
on public non-financial corporations increased
by 190.54%.
Credit to the private sector mainly benefited the
agriculture and household sectors, which
received 29.14% and 23.22% of the total credit,
respectively.
The
distribution
and
manufacturing sectors also received 13.19%
and 11.88%, respectively, while credit shares
for the rest of the economic sectors are shown
in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Distribution of Private Sector
Credit

Credit to the private sector was largely
channeled towards inventory build-up, which
took up 34.0% of the credit, while other
recurrent expenditures consumed 27.20% of

from 25.8% in November 2021.
