VICE-PRESIDENT Dr Constantino Chiwenga has reaffirmed Government’s commitment to policy consistency, fiscal discipline and the protection of investments, saying these are critical pillars for unlocking both domestic and international capital and building a resilient economy.
Addressing an oversubscribed International Business Conference (IBC) held on the sidelines of the ongoing Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) in Bulawayo, VP Chiwenga said the Second Republic remains focused on creating a stable, predictable and transparent investment environment anchored on trust and confidence.
“We are determined to create an economy that rewards productivity, attracts capital and promotes long-term confidence,” VP Chiwenga told delegates.
“In that regard, Government remains committed to policy consistency, fiscal discipline, the sanctity of contracts, protection of investments, transparent regulation and continuous improvement in the ease of doing business.
“These principles are essential to unlocking domestic and international investment.”
“Our objective is to make Zimbabwe one of the most efficient and attractive investment destinations in the region,” said VP Chiwenga.
VP Chiwenga said the time for policy articulation had passed, with the focus now firmly on implementation and tangible outcomes.
“The focus now is on execution and results. This conference must serve as a catalyst for concrete outcomes,” he said.
“We must convert dialogue into investment, partnerships into projects and opportunities into measurable economic impact. Zimbabwe is ready, and open for mutually beneficial partnerships.
“The policy direction is clear, the opportunities are substantial, and the commitment to reform is unwavering. We invite you to partner with us in building a modern, industrialised and prosperous Zimbabwe,” said VP Chiwenga.
