Manufacturing sector capacity utilisation reaches 39%

The manufacturing sector has recorded a 1,9 percentage increase in capacity utilisation to 39% driven by activities in the beverages and construction sectors, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries(CZI) has said.  

In the same period in 2014, capacity utilisation was 37,1%.

In its submissions to the Ministry of Finance as input into the mid-term fiscal policy review, CZI said the manufacturing sector continues to struggle but in terms of turnover and staffing levels an improvement has been recorded on year to date.
