French business delegation expected in Zimbabwe

A French business delegation, representing about 10 big companies, is expected in the country tomorrow to explore investment opportunities in various economic sectors.

This is one of the biggest delegations from Europe in years. Analysts say the visit demonstrates the huge appetite foreigners have on Zimbabwe's investment opportunities.

The delegation is expected to hold a meeting with the Presidency, senior Government officials, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, the Zimbabwe Investment Authority and representatives from the private sector.

Some of the companies to be represented include Alstom, the global leader in power generation, power transmission and rail infrastructure.

It has operations in 100 countries.
