The IMFโs 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 Zimbabweโs macro-economic stability and cement the countryโs standing on the global stage.
โThe 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.
โThe Mission is here to discuss the Staff-Monitored Programme, its macro-fiscal framework, policy commitments underpinning the Programme, quantitative targets and structural benchmarks.
โThe SMP is designed to buttress macroeconomic stability, rebuild Zimbabweโs international re-engagement,โ 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.
โSo, we are encouraged by what the Government has been doing in recent months and I think that needs to be sustained.
โLike all countries, a combination of current policies and continued refinement of policies will be key to helping Zimbabwe move forward.โ
