Zimbabwean industry geared to drive country's growth agenda

Harare [Zimbabwe], September 30: An industry lobby group in Zimbabwe reaffirmed its commitment to help drive the country's vision of becoming an upper-middle income economy by 2030.
The group said industry is prepared to play its part in the country's industrialization drive to ensure broad-based economic empowerment, poverty alleviation and achieve the country's development goals, said SekaiKuvarika, the chief executive of the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, the country's largest industry lobby group, said at a press briefing on Friday.
"We do want to be a business that contributes to an upper-middle economy. We want an upper-middle income economy market as well because that is an economy in which business will also continue to thrive and grow," Kuvarika said.
The Zimbabwean government is formulating a new national industrial development policy to drive industrialization and achieve its goal of becoming an upper-middle income economy by 2030, with an emphasis on structural transformation to build a strong industry with linkages to agriculture and mining, two critical sectors of Zimbabwe's economy.
