Overview

Time-series analysis finds relationships between government revenue and expenditure in Zimbabwe, indicating fiscal sustainability challenges.

Key Points

  • The study finds government revenue struggles to keep pace with expenditure, leading to fiscal imbalances.
  • Average budget deficit reached -4.2% of GDP from 2010 to 2022, peaking at -11% in 2018 due to unbudgeted spending.
  • Analysis includes time-series techniques like the Toda-Yamamoto Test and ARDL Bounds Testing on data from 1990 to 2024.
  • Fiscal sustainability remains crucial, with inflation and public debt compounding economic challenges in Zimbabwe.
