flag Zimbabwe’s government struggles to stop customs duty evasion, threatening economic growth and reform efforts.

flag Zimbabwe’s government faces mounting pressure to tackle deep-rooted revenue leakages, particularly customs duty evasion on imports, which have harmed local industries for years. flag Economists warn that projected 2026 growth of 5% is at risk due to low manufacturing utilization, reliance on volatile commodities, and weak competitiveness. flag Experts urge stricter enforcement, closing tax loopholes, phasing out harmful transaction taxes like IMTT, and shifting to profit-based taxation to boost formal investment. flag They also caution against policies like the $1,000 bank withdrawal tax, which undermines financial inclusion. flag Efforts to combat illicit financial flows and clear $45.6 billion in unvalidated domestic arrears are underway, but progress remains limited amid persistent inflation, currency instability, and public distrust.
