Government urged to maintain fiscal discipline

THE Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) has urged the government to maintain fiscal discipline ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for next year, to improve the country’s business confidence rankings.
In its inaugural State of Industry and Commerce Survey 2021, which was launched yesterday, ZNCC said adopting an expansionary stance to meet election demands would be inflationary and worsen the country’s “ease of doing business.”

“Government should maintain fiscal discipline as we enter the election season. This is critical for improving the low business confidence,” said the business member organisation.
