Zimbabwe ready for key reforms, says UK think tank

Zimbabwe is poised to register a significant progress on its economic reform programme, largely benefiting from improved political governance and the new dispensation's efforts to re-engage the international community, a top global economic think tank has said.

Fitch Solutions, a globally acclaimed research firm that normally generates scathing reports on Zimbabwe - said Harare's efforts to turn around the economy battered by nearly two decades long meltdown would benefit from reforms under the new administration.

Since taking over power from long time ruler, Robert Mugabe in November 2017, President Mnangagwa has vowed to institute far reaching economic reforms aimed at creating an environment that attracts foreign direct investment (FDI).
