Business prays for weightier government help

11

BUSINESS is pleading with the government for more support to improve its competitiveness and to allow local companies to tap into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Speaking to The Financial Gazette this week, the president of the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI), Kurai Matsheza, said business wanted to see more policy consistency from the authorities and an even more conducive enabling environment.

This comes as the CZI has just released the 2022 manufacturing sector survey report, which shows that capacity utilisation fell slightly from 56,3 percent in 2021 to 56,1 percent last year.
