- Relatório Nacional do Afreximbank sobre o Zimbabwe explora a vantagem do país em termos de minerais críticos e as perspectivas económicas impulsionadas por reformasO Banco Africano de Exportação e Importação (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) divulgou o seu Relatório Nacional sobre o Zimbabwe, apresentando uma análise abrangente das perspectivas macroeconómicas, do desempenho comercial, do desenvolvimento do sector financeiro e do perfil de sustentabilidade da dívida desta nação da África Austral. O relatório analisa o potencial de crescimento económico do Zimbabwe, apoiado pelos seus profundos laços regionais e pela diversidade dos seus recursos naturais, que assumem um papel cada vez mais central na transição energética global. Entre os principais destaques do relatório está o forte impulso de crescimento do Zimbabwe. Estima-se que o crescimento real do PIB tenha reforçado para 8,3% em 2025, impulsionado por uma recuperação da produção agrícola, exportações robustas de ouro e os elevados preços globais do ouro. Prevê-se que o crescimento se mantenha sólido, a 5% em 2026, apoiado por rendimentos agrícolas mais elevados, um aumento da despesa pública e perspectivas favoráveis para a mineração de ouro. Mais notável ainda, prevê-se que a inflação diminua drasticamente para 3,9% em 2026, face a uma estimativa de 55% em 2025, à medida que a moeda Ouro do Zimbabwe [Zimbabwe Gold] se estabiliza, apoiada por uma produção interna de ouro mais forte e por melhores influxos de moeda estrangeira. O Zimbabwe detém as maiores reservas de lítio do continente e possui alguns dos depósitos de espodumênio de maior qualidade a nível mundial, posicionando o país como um fornecedor essencial de minerais para baterias, numa altura em que a procura global por veículos eléctricos e tecnologias de armazenamento de energia está em alta. O ouro, os metais do grupo da platina, os diamantes e o crómio completam um perfil de recursos que poucas economias do continente conseguem igualar. Além disso, esta edição revela como a trajectória do Zimbabwe é particularmente convincente, tendo em conta a mudança deliberada do governo de exportador de matérias-primas para transformador industrial. O relatório destaca as restrições de Fevereiro de 2026 às exportações de minerais em bruto e de concentrado de lítio como um passo decisivo na agenda do valor acrescentado, com potencial para reposicionar o Zimbabwe nas cadeias de abastecimento globais de baterias. O quadro da Estratégia Nacional de Desenvolvimento 2 para 2026-2030 reforça esta orientação, dando prioridade à estabilidade macroeconómica, às infra-estruturas, à industrialização e à criação de emprego. O relatório aponta igualmente para mais vantagens a longo prazo decorrentes do acordo de partilha de produção petrolífera de Maio de 2026, que abrange o projecto de petróleo e gás da Bacia de Cabora Bassa. O relatório destaca ainda um sector financeiro em crescimento e em evolução, sendo que a parceria estabelecida em Maio de 2025 entre o InnBucks MicroBank e a Mambu marca um passo significativo no desenvolvimento da banca digital e de uma inclusão financeira mais ampla. Com perspectivas sólidas de crescimento do PIB para 2026, um ambiente inflacionário significativamente melhorado e uma das reservas minerais estrategicamente mais valiosas de África a ser activamente desenvolvida para uma produção de maior valor, o Zimbabwe apresenta uma história oportuna e poderosa de transformação económica. Ao comentar sobre o lançamento do relatório, Yemi Kale, Economista-Chefe do Grupo e Director-Geral para Investigação e Informação Comercial do Afreximbank, afirmou: “A rica dotação de minerais essenciais do Zimbabwe oferece uma oportunidade poderosa para ir além da exportação de matérias-primas e construir cadeias de valor regionais competitivas, ancoradas na produção local, beneficiação e valor acrescentado. Ao converter o seu lítio, ouro, metais do grupo da platina e outros recursos em produtos de maior valor, o Zimbabwe pode aprofundar a sua base industrial, criar empregos de qualidade e expandir o comércio com mercados em toda África. Isto está totalmente alinhado com o mandato do Afreximbank de transformar a estrutura do comércio africano e acelerar a industrialização do continente no âmbito da ZCLCA."

- Seychelles: Cabinet Business Friday, 16th October 2026Vice-President Sebastien Pillay chaired a scheduled meeting of the Cabinet on Wednesday 14th October, during which a number of legal and policy memoranda were approved. Cabinet approved decisive measures to ensure that there will be no increase in electricity tariffs for the remainder of 2026. This decision reflects Government’s commitment to protecting households and businesses from additional financial pressures while maintaining the sustainability of essential public utilities. Cabinet approved the regulations which will provide the mechanism for the proper administration of the Reparation Trust Fund. The Regulations will safeguard and ring-fence the Fund so that all resources are dedicated exclusively to reparations, while establishing appropriate governance and oversight arrangements, including a Board of Trustees proposed by the Commission for appointment by the President. This decision reaffirms Government’s commitment to advance the national reconciliation process and ensure the effective implementation of the recommendations of the Truth, Reconciliation and National Unity Commission (TRNUC). Cabinet approved amendments to the Seychelles Made Act, 2025 aimed at strengthening its implementation. The amendments include provisions relating to the governance of the Seychelles Made Evaluation Committee, application procedures, certificate renewal and cancellation, and the appeals process. Cabinet also emphasised the need for stronger Government support and protection for Seychellois entrepreneurs, particularly in relation to trademarks and intellectual property rights. The Ministry responsible for Industry and Enterprise will take the lead in strengthening support to local entrepreneurs, while a policy paper will be jointly prepared by the relevant Ministries to address trademark and intellectual property issues, including the protection and recovery of rights to names endemic to Seychelles. Young entrepreneurs, including participants of the Youth Entrepreneurship Programme, will also be engaged to strengthen awareness of trademark requirements. Cabinet approved a series of measures towards establishing a more structured and regulated approach to the accommodation of foreign workers in Seychelles, particularly in support of major development projects and in response to increasing demand for suitable accommodation. The Industrial Estates Authority (IEA) will undertake a comprehensive assessment of existing foreign worker accommodation, including the location, number of workers housed and prevailing living conditions, and will coordinate the development of appropriate accommodation standards. The Planning Authority will work with the IEA to establish standards for designated areas where foreign worker accommodation may be permitted, while a dedicated site will be identified for the development of purpose-built accommodation, with the land remaining under Government ownership. These measures are intended to strengthen oversight, ensure acceptable living conditions and provide a more sustainable approach to accommodating the foreign workforce required to support the country’s development needs. Cabinet approved the review and amendment of the Industrial Estate Authority (IEA) Act to establish a stronger legal and governance framework for the effective management, regulation and development of industrial estates in Seychelles. The reforms will strengthen the IEA’s mandate, enforcement powers and regulatory functions, while providing greater clarity on the designation and management of industrial estates and the respective responsibilities of Government agencies operating within them. The drafting process will commence as a priority through a coordinated approach involving the Ministries and Departments responsible for Lands, Planning, Transport and Environment, alongside the development of an appropriate lease framework and land-use plan.
