ZIMBABWE’S industries said this week authorities must address a cluster of hurdles that have discouraged foreign direct investment inflows from the world’s biggest corporations, as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) comes alive in January 2021.
In an interview with businessdigest, Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president, Henry Ruzvidzo said while relaxation to trade barriers present opportunities for domestic industries to export into the larger market, authorities will have to work around the clock to lead companies into Africa.
“We need to move with speed to address all concerns over doing business in Zimbabwe to attract investors and the Zimbabwe Investment Development Agency (ZIDA) has its work cut out,” Ruzvidzo said.
