Points clés à retenir
The ZSE recorded an 18% gain in market capitalization during 2024, supported by inflation-hedging behavior and demand for tangible asset-backed stocks. Financial services, consumer staples, and real estate sectors anchored the market, demonstrating resilience against economic headwinds. While liquidity constraints and forex shortages discouraged foreign investors in 2024, the ZSE’s performance was bolstered by speculative trading during periodic currency devaluations. The VFEX benefited from companies seeking forex-indexed revenues to hedge against currency risks, with market capitalization reaching US$1.3 billion in December 2024. Export-oriented companies and mining firms leveraged global commodity price movements to perform well despite local economic challenges. However, limited liquidity and subdued foreign investor activity constrained trading volumes.
