“Over the past few months, I have attended several investment fora in and outside Zimbabwe and I have been heartened by renewed business confidence in our country despite the political problems still dogging us,” he said.
“I have attended panel discussions and held bilateral meetings with investors keen to put their money in Zimbabwe. There are a lot of people out there who are keen to explore opportunities in our great and beautiful country, a nation endowed with vast resources and a hard-working and committed people.”
Zimbabwe, he said, could attain high levels of growth if competitive policies to attract investment were put in place.
“The formation of the inclusive Government gave us the much-needed political stability to bring back business confidence and investor interest in the country, which should enable us to unleash our growth potential,” he said.
The PM called for peace as a key factor to investment.
“As leaders of political parties, we have made our position known that we want peace in the country and I urge everyone in Zimbabwe to take heed of our statements as political leaders in the country,” he said.
“That is why I urge all of you gathered here to support the call for peace and a free and fair election in Zimbabwe.”
“Every stakeholder should play their part to ensure that we lay the foundation for the economic prosperity for the people of Zimbabwe and the prosperity of political parties or individuals,” he said.
