Zanu-PF analysts hail Mugabe's state of the Nation address

Analysts have said the State of the Nation Address delivered to Parliament by President Mugabe yesterday set the tone for development as it identified priority areas that need attention as part of measures to turn around the country's economy.

Investment banker Terrence Mukupe, who is also MP for Harare East, said there was no doubt that the policies if implemented would play a vital role in reviving the economy.

Another economist Witness Chinyama said: "The intention is good as it will see investors trickling in. The setting of targets by the President is also a positive development because in the past Government has outlined plans without setting deadlines.
