Zimbabwe's government approved a framework on Tuesday that reserves specific economic sectors exclusively for citizens, promoting local entrepreneurship and domestic participation. Information Minister Jenfan Muswere announced that Zimbabweans will receive exclusive operating rights in artisanal mining, bakeries, advertising, transportation, and beauty services. The policy targets industries with low capital entry requirements, while maintaining the country's commitment to attracting foreign investment.

Industry and Commerce Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu clarified that the framework reinforces existing provisions rather than introducing new policy. The government will establish reserved sector thresholds for industries not exclusively designated for locals, and it will create transitional frameworks for foreign businesses already operating in reserved areas. These thresholds function as quotas to guarantee local participation without completely excluding foreign investors from economic opportunities.
