Zimbabwe's Deputy Finance Minister, Kudakwashe Mnangagwa, stated that despite ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Zimbabwe's gold trade continues to flow smoothly through the region. According to Jin10, when asked about potential disruptions, Mnangagwa mentioned that no warnings or concerns have been received from Fidelity Printers and Refineries, the country's gold refiner. He added that all institutions are closely monitoring the situation, and trade remains uninterrupted. Last month, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce warned that escalating tensions in the Middle East could pose risks to the country's gold exports, which are primarily destined for the United Arab Emirates.
