Summary

A technical assistance mission was conducted during October 2023 by the IMF’s Regional Technical Assistance Center for Southern Africa (AFS), to support the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) in the production of national accounts statistics for macroeconomic policy making. The mission reviewed the recently produced estimates of annual gross domestic product (GDP) by the production approach for the year 2022. ZIMSTAT had made considerable progress in cleaning the value added tax (VAT) turnover data. Methodological improvements had been introduced to the estimates. The mission discussed plans for the rebasing of GDP. The mission also reviewed the new quarterly estimates covering the period 2019 quarter 1 to 2023 quarter 2.
