Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube, this morning leads the Post-2026 National Budget Breakfast Meeting at the Golden Conifer in Harare, a high-level dialogue organised by Zimpapers in partnership with the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI).
The meeting brings together policymakers, economists, investors and captains of industry to unpack the Government’s fiscal direction for 2026 and assess how the Budget positions Zimbabwe for accelerated economic growth.
Central to the discussions are proposals aimed at stimulating private-sector activity, reinforcing macroeconomic stability and broadening inclusive development, a thrust aligned with President Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s call for whole-of-nation participation as the country advances toward Vision 2030.
Delivering a key presentation, James Wadi, Managing Director of BancEasy, is expected to unpack how the 2026 Budget will influence the operating environment, business confidence, investment flows and credit markets.
The meeting will also examine policy measures outlined in the Budget, including tax reforms, regulatory adjustments and new investment incentives. In recent years, Government introduced several tax and administrative reforms to improve the ease of doing business, in line with the engagement and re-engagement policy which seeks to attract global capital.
By convening industry players and policymakers under one roof, the forum provides a platform to interrogate the Budget’s assumptions and craft informed business and policy responses ahead of implementation. This inclusive approach reflects the national ethos of Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo, emphasising that Zimbabwe’s development is a collective responsibility.
