ZIMBABWEAN banks are beginning to extend loans beyond 2030 after authorities quietly backed away from a rigid deadline for returning to a mono-currency economy, a move that could unlock long-term investment and provide a much-needed boost to economic growth.
ZIMBABWE’S gold producers have warned that delays in receiving the ZiG equivalent of export surrender proceeds are triggering a worsening cash-flow crisis, threatening mine viability, delaying expansion projects and undermining the country’s ability to benefit from record-soaring bullion prices.
Zimbabwe’s mining industry has warned that high taxes, costly electricity, foreign currency shortages and constrained access to capital are eroding the country’s competitiveness and threatening investment in a sector that generated a record US$8.5 billion in export earnings last year.
