Introducing Zimbabwe Business

Introducing Zimbabwe Business is rated 3 out of 5 in the category international trade and development. Read and write reviews about Introducing Zimbabwe Business. The fast-paced political developments in Zimbabwe, the new Government’s stated and already proven intent to fast track business development and the declared aim of numerous countries to inject substantial capital funds into the country - have created what can be termed from a business perspective as the “perfect storm”. Both for those organisations looking to expand their business footprint into Zimbabwe, as well as for Zimbabwean businesses looking to extend into the South African and other African markets - hence ILB, Introducing Zimbabwe business. Business interest is being fast-tracked with new announcements almost daily (on 22nd March 2018 DHL launched a new Boeing 737-400f cargo aircraft on the Johannesburg-Harare-Lusaka route). Likewise astute African businessmen are also getting in early with it being reported on 10th April 2018 that Aiko Dangote of Nigeria is set to invest US$1.5 billion in coal mining and power generation (Dangote recently invested UD$400 million in a cement manufacturing plant in Zambia). South African tycoon Robert Gumede’s Guma Group announced in January that it planned to invest US$1.2 billion in the country – in sectors ranging from infrastructure development to energy, healthcare, tourism, financial services and information and communication technology. This is underpinned by donor funding and for example EU aid focusses on three key areas, of health (€88 million / ZAR1.3 billion), agriculture-based economic development (€88 million / ZAR1.3 billion) and governance and institution building (€58 million). We have taken literally hundreds of South African business people (from small to medium sized businesses) to Angola, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia - the focus is now on Zimbabwe!
