Business in anti-sanctions pledge

BUSINESS has pledged to lobby against economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by some Western countries, which it says have dented the country’s investment appeal and its debt profile.
This was one of the resolutions at Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce’s (ZNCC) congress in Victoria Falls last week.
Speaking to The Financial Gazette on the sidelines of the congress, ZNCC president Mike Kamungeremu said the impact of the sanctions on the economy was undeniable.
“… out of the discussions, a resolution came out to the effect that perhaps, as businesses, we are not doing enough to lobby for the removal of sanctions,” he said.
