Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa has expressed optimism in the recovery of the economy saying a surge in prices of precious metals like gold is good news for Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The Southern African country produces some of these precious metals which mean the Government can leverage their firming international prices to minimise economic shocks. He said:<\/p>\n

As I write, prices of key minerals which Zimbabwe has and offers to the world, are firming up on the world market. Gold is creeping towards US$2000 an ounce; palladium which is part of our PGMs is well above US$ 3000; the price of platinum is firming daily, pointing to bright prospects.<\/p>\n

Lithium, already enjoying a pride of place because of the seismic shift to green economies, can only bring rich rewards to our economy.<\/p>\n

Diamonds are holding their own, in fact rising. My recent meeting with representatives of the World Diamond Council in Brussels showed a great appetite for our parcel.<\/p>\n

Soon our Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company will be in the market with several parcels.<\/p>\n

All these good auguries in the mining sector make our USD$12 billion target realistic and achievable by 2023 if not much earlier.<\/p>\n

He speaks as fuel prices which went up recently due to a conflict between Russia and Ukraine had prompted analysts to predict that the Zimbabwean economy will slow down and probably recede.<\/p>\n

Recent studies established that mineral exports account for about 60 per cent of Zimbabwe\u2019s export earnings and the mining sector contributes around 16 per cent of national GDP.<\/p>\n
