flag Zimbabwe to double gold royalties on small miners from 2026, sparking investment fears.

flag Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube proposes doubling gold royalties to 10% on sales above $2,501 an ounce starting in 2026, targeting small-scale miners for the first time. flag The Zimbabwe Miners Federation warns the move could deter investment, reduce formal exports, and increase smuggling, threatening the country’s balance of payments and currency stability. flag Despite a surge in gold revenues—up 88% to $3.76 billion in the first 10 months of 2025—miners and investors fear the tax will undermine sector growth and push operations to informal or neighboring markets. flag The policy remains under parliamentary review.
