Book NowCommenting on the economic environment, NMB noted stability in Zimbabwe’s inflation and exchange rates for the nine months to September 2025, attributed to the Central Bank’s prudent monetary policies. The monthly ZWG inflation averaged 0.5% between February and September 2025, while the interbank exchange rate stabilized at approximately ZWG 26.76/USD in Q3 2025. Robust gold and platinum prices contributed to increased foreign currency inflows.
Financial performance for the period included an operating income of ZWG1.3 billion, with net interest income rising 63% year-on-year, driven by loans to productive sectors.

The bank’s regulatory capital adequacy ratio stands at 27.64%, well above the required 12%, affirming its strong capitalization.
