Forex Inflows Surge to US$8.3 Billion

Zimbabwe's foreign currency earnings increased by 39.1 percent to US$8.3 billion during the first five months of 2026. The figure, released by RBZ Governor John Mushayavanhu, marks a significant jump from the US$6 billion recorded in the same period in 2025. The growth is driven by robust economic momentum and favorable commodity prices. The inflows strengthen the country's external position and support the local currency. The core vulnerability is the exposure to global commodity price fluctuations and external demand shocks.
