ZIMBABWE’S trade with its neighbour and biggest trading partner, South Africa (SA), accounted for 33,4 percent of all its trade in December, down from 38,1 percent in November, according to figures released by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) this week.

This came after imports from South Africa declined from 43,7 percent in November 2021 to 39,9 percent in December.
“SA is Zimbabwe’s major trading partner. However, in December 2021, exports to the United Arab Emirates constituted 42,2 percent compared to 22,4 percent in November 2021. Exports to SA were 38,1 percent in December 2021 compared to 33,4 percent in November 2021,” Zimstat said in a note accompanying the statistics.
