The World Bank praised Zimbabwe for making tough economic changes that should help the country grow. Eneida Fernandes from the World Bank spoke at recent African Development Bank meetings about debt talks. She said her organization wants to give money to Zimbabwe to boost business, and cut poverty levels. The bank needs Zimbabwe to keep working on three main reform areas before full support can happen. These areas cover economic growth, government improvements, and land issues.

Zimbabwe has been reaching out to countries, and groups around the world to rebuild relationships. President Mnangagwa leads this effort to reconnect with international partners. The World Bank works with other groups like the International Monetary Fund to help Zimbabwe move forward. Officials removed some exchange rate controls in April to make business easier. The new ZiG currency has helped keep prices more stable across the nation.

Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said Zimbabwe needs 2.5 billion dollars in bridge financing from sponsors. The country expects an IMF team to visit next week for important talks. Officials hope to start a new monitoring program with the IMF around July. The World Bank noted that economic changes can hurt poor people in the short term. A new social registry system will help target aid to families who need it most.
