Why conduct market research in Zimbabwe
17% of Zimbabwe’s GDP comes from agriculture. The Zimbabwe market in 2022 is facing some challenges as its economic activity has been slowing down because of deteriorating agricultural conditions and unstable prices. However, the market has potential because tourism, mining, and trading have benefitted from an increase in commodity prices and relaxed COVID-19 restrictions which are aiding the economy to grow.
In addition, consumption and investment in the country have reduced due to the depreciation of the currency, an increase in inflation, and interest rates. But, robust remittance inflows have lessened the negative impact on private consumption and combined with a rise in gold exports made the external current account of Zimbabwe in surplus.
