Zimbabwe raised its 2025 economic growth forecast to 6.6% from 6%, driven by a strong tobacco harvest and higher global gold prices. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube announced the revised outlook at an economic conference, citing agriculture and mining as key growth drivers. The economy grew 2% last year after an El Niño-induced drought affected crops and hydropower.
