Zimbabwe’s policy risk ‘inhibits’ FDI

13

WHILE the government has made significant progress with regards the ease of doing business in Zimbabwe, economic experts say policy risk remains a major hindrance for foreign direct investment (FDI).
This comes as the United Nations, in its recently published investment report, has said FDI into the southern African nation amounted to US$166 million in 2021, down from US$194 million in 2020 and US$745 million in 2018.

Speaking to The Financial Gazette this week, the experts said inconsistent policies did not only weaken the economy, but also had the effect of dampening investor confidence.
