Russians jet in to explore investment opportunities

The delegation met Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Investment Authority and Zimbabwe Chess Federation officials.
Head of delegation, Mr Robert Hersov said that his team was looking for investment opportunities in Zimbabwe in all aspects of the economy.

“Zimbabwe has potential for investment because it has a lot of resources. We are interested in the food, real estate, energy and mining sectors.
“Our visit is motivated by this desire. That is why we have embarked on this tour of Africa as we seek to consolidate on other investments that we have on the continent,” he said.

Zimbabwe Investment Authority chief executive, Mr Richard Mbaiwa expressed optimism that the visit would result in deals being sealed with locals. He added that the visit was a welcome development as it shows the confidence the delegation has in the country. “This is a welcome because we strive to harness investment by ensuring a conducive environment for potential investors,” he said.
