In 2025, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) marked an important milestone in advancing the nation’s goals of modernity, digital transformation and improved service delivery. Guided by clear priorities and deliberate implementation, the year reflected steady progress supported by a continued focus on NDS2 and stronger integration aimed at improving economic resilience, sustainability and stability.
Throughout the year, government and stakeholder efforts emphasised not only growth, but also improved systems for delivering results more efficiently and transparently. With digital transformation at the centre of many initiatives, public services and economic planning improved, enabling faster coordination across institutions and better outcomes for communities.
Stable Economy and Strong Performance
A defining feature of 2025 was the commitment to building and maintaining a stable economy, supported by continuous policy action and coordinated execution.
“The economy showed positive performance during the year, driven by efforts to strengthen productivity, improve operational efficiency and create a business environment that encourages investment and sustainable development,” said the Board Chairman Mr Antony Mandawanza.
The Commissioner General Ms Regina Chinamasa added that as a result, ZIMRA’s work in revenue collection and compliance support contributed meaningfully to national development objectives and the broader economic agenda.
Revenue Growth and Recognised Outcomes
Among the most notable achievements of the year was the recognition of *three key outcomes* aligned to revenue performance and economic development.
In particular, the year delivered a reported achievement of USD 7.6 billion in revenue, a result that reflects improved planning, enhanced implementation, and stronger performance across ZIMRA’s core functions. More importantly, this achievement demonstrates how effective systems, targeted interventions, and disciplined execution translate into measurable progress for national priorities.
Strengthening the Economy through NDS2 and Integration
Beyond revenue performance alone, 2025 reinforced the need to strengthen the economy through a balanced approach improving governance, strengthening economic integration and supporting key growth sectors.
The focus on NDS2 ensured that programmes and activities remained aligned with national priorities, while enhanced integration helped reduce operational gaps and improve cooperation across institutions. This strengthened the overall effectiveness of efforts aimed at promoting compliance, fairness and sustainable development.
Looking Ahead
As ZIMRA and stakeholders reflect on the achievements of 2025, the message going forward is clear: we must continue building momentum in the coming years. The lessons learned in 2025 should guide future strategies—strengthening our commitment to modernity, digital improvement, and strong economic performance. With continued focus on *NDS2* and integration, the foundation laid in 2025 will support long-term prosperity and sustained development.
In summary, 2025 has proven that when priorities are clear and execution is consistent, economic growth becomes achievable, one year, three outcomes and measurable results.
