A HIGH-LEVEL delegation from the International Monetary Fund is in the country on a week-long mission to discuss the global lender’s pending Staff-Monitored Programme with Zimbabwe.
The IMF’s delegation is being led by Mission Chief for Zimbabwe, Mr Wojceich Maliszewski.
Announcing the arrival of the IMF delegation in a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion said the SMP was designed to buttress Zimbabwe’s macro-economic stability and cement the country’s standing on the global stage.
“The IMF Mission Chief for Zimbabwe, Mr Wojceich Maliszewski and his team are in the country for a one-week Mission which started yesterday, the January 28 to February 4, 2026.
“The Mission is here to discuss the Staff-Monitored Programme, its macro-fiscal framework, policy commitments underpinning the Programme, quantitative targets and structural benchmarks.
“The SMP is designed to buttress macroeconomic stability, rebuild Zimbabwe’s international re-engagement,” said the ministry.
The Zimbabwean team, comprising the Government, the private sector, development partners and civil society representatives, will update the Mission on recent economic developments and the broader outlook.
“So, we are encouraged by what the Government has been doing in recent months and I think that needs to be sustained.
“Like all countries, a combination of current policies and continued refinement of policies will be key to helping Zimbabwe move forward.”
