"Despite a tough operating environment, demand for our products grew, bolstered by a customer focused approach to pricing. Our management team, through a concerted effort, prioritized both revenue maximisation, volume growth and cost management, thereby, positioning the group on the path to actualise its strategic goals," Chair Michael Mundashi says.
"The enduring stability of the economy hinges on the successful resolution of the government's debt restructuring negotiations. We foresee a positive trajectory for copper prices, a vital contributor to our foreign exchange earnings, fuelled by a rising global demand, notably from China and the burgeoning electric vehicle market."
