It allocated $3.37 million towards property and equipment, along with an additional $204,100 directed to lease liabilities. A bank overdraft amounting to $3.01 million contributed significantly to the financing inflows that bolstered its cash position.
Importantly, the Mutapa Fund started the reporting period with no cash balance, having been reconstituted in September 2023 under Statutory Instrument 156 of 2023. This reformation has set the stage for its current financial strategy and operational execution.
Moreover, the Fund reported unrealized exchange losses amounting to $254,996, illustrating the impact of currency fluctuations on its cash holdings. This aspect underscores the importance of maintaining a robust financial strategy in the dynamic economic environment of Zimbabwe.
Overall, the Mutapa Fund”s financial performance reflects a strategic balance between investment spending and cash generation, positioning it for future opportunities while navigating the challenges in the current economic landscape.
