INDUSTRIALISTS and other stakeholders will meet to unpack strategies of boosting exports by taking advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The Financial and Industrial breakfast meeting, running under the theme ‘Achieving economic growth, value added exports in line with NDS1’ is scheduled for February 24 in Harare.
The meeting is being organised by Global Renaissance Investment (GRI).
Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube is expected to address captains of industry at the engagement.
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor Dr John Mangudya and Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president Mr Kurai Matsheza are also expected to make presentations.
GRI chief executive officer Mr Ngoni Dzirutwe said: “Issues of currency stability, foreign currency availability from the auction system, challenges being faced by various stakeholders are going to take centre stage.
“Value addition should also take centre stage as this will position our country well for the AfCFTA. Industrialisation, in general, needs Government support of varying incentives, some of which are going to be spelt out at the event.”
