Marc Holtzman, chairman of CBZ Holdings
Zimbabwe is ripe for Middle Eastern investment in mining, agritech and financial technology, according to the chairman of CBZ Holdings, Zimbabwe’s biggest bank and dominant farm lender.
Marc Holtzman, who is also chairman at the Bank of Kigali – Rwanda’s largest financial institution – says Middle Eastern investors are already present in Zimbabwe and Rwanda, with Dubai Ports having a strong presence in both countries.
“With a new board in place since February last year, CBZ aims to reach global investors and become a conduit for foreign investment in Zimbabwe, including Middle Eastern investors,” Holtzman told Arabian Business.
