Bloomberg has registered a local office in Harare Zimbabwe. The news was announced at news conference held by the Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC), the body charged with licensing media organisations in Zimbabwe.
Bloomberg currently covers events in Zimbabwe from their South African office.
Also registered the same day is a magazine by Yellow Pages.
To date, the commission has registered 15 independent media houses in line with reforms stipulated in the Global Political Agreement which forms the framework that guides the coalition government currently running Zimbabwe. A key reform agreed at the formation of the coalition agreement was that more independent media operations should be allowed to operate in Zimbabwe.
Economic recovery in Zimbabwe will be one of the key reasons behind the Bloomberg decision.
