Cabinet has considered and adopted the proposed Industrial Reconstruction and Growth Plan which will focus on growth opportunities in the manufacturing sector by reducing costs of doing business and strengthening value chains.
Presenting a Post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said the plan will address immediate challenges faced by the manufacturing and commercial sectors.
“The plan will address immediate challenges faced by the manufacturing and commercial sectors, while laying a solid foundation for accelerated industrial development under the Zimbabwe National Industrial Development Policy to achieve Vision 2030,” he said.
Dr Muswere said the plan will also focus on quality assurance and trade measures, ease of doing business and formalisation of businesses.
“Accordingly, on quality assurance, the plan will enforce consumer protection and trade measures as well as quality standards to safeguard against smuggled, counterfeit and sub-standard goods.
“Regarding the ease of doing business, the plan will ensure the cost of doing business is streamlined to enhance competitiveness,” said Dr Muswere.
