Zimbabwe will begin publishing statutory instruments on Monday to formalize recent policy changes aimed at lowering business operating expenses, according to Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube. The legislative measures will address fees and administrative processes across agriculture, retail, transport and tourism sectors, with additional provisions incorporated into forthcoming Finance Act amendments.
Ncube told reporters in Bulawayo, following pre-budget consultations, that ministries will introduce revised regulations incrementally, with energy sector reforms scheduled for the coming week. The Treasury attributes the reform momentum to disciplined fiscal oversight and monetary controls that have stabilized the local currency and supported price moderation.
The minister cited International Monetary Fund recognition of Zimbabwe's economic management, noting 6.6 percent growth this year with 5 percent expansion forecast for the next calendar period, placing the nation among the region's fastest-growing economies.
