Zimbabwe suffers from a shortage of good-quality, well-analysed economic data and information. Ironically, raw data is available from various sources such as the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, Victoria Falls Stock Exchange, ZimStat, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, various ministries, departments and agencies, the World Bank’s Development Indicators, the UNDP Human Development Index, the International Trade Centre, and IMF financial statistics. On a monthly basis, AEDS will produce the Zimbabwe Business and Economic Intelligence report, which will provide uninterrupted granular information on economic developments in Zimbabwe by breaking existing data into meaningful insights that may not be readily apparent. AEDS envisages to establish a regional one-stop shop and a dashboard for modelled and forecasted macroeconomic fundamentals, which are key to inform both business and public policy. The platform will focus on: (a) stock price developments; (b) exchange rate dynamics; (c) inflation developments; (d) unemployment; (e) balance of payment; (f) national debt and its impact on the economy; (g) commodity prices, both local and international; (h) gross domestic product and economic outlook; (i) impact of trade agreements and investment deals on African economies; and (j) exogenous shocks and their impact on African economies
