Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) is deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Rugare Mandima, Senior Partner at Danziger & Partners, a highly respected lawyer who served the Chamber with dedication and commitment since 2009.

As we stand on the cusp of a transformative decade, the importance of fiscal planning and economic strategy has never been more paramount. The 2026 National Budget Analysis and Review has been meticulously crafted to provide invaluable insights into the Zimbabwean economy's trajectory, exploring the government's fiscal policies, revenue projections, and expenditure priorities.

 ZNCC, represented by Mr Tapiwa D. Karoro (the President) and Mr. Jephias Makiwa (Principal Economist) held an engagement with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Zimbabwe on 26 January 2026 to review progress on economic cooperation and agree on concrete implementation steps. The meeting focused on operationalising the ZNCC–Korea Chamber MoU, strengthening private sector linkages, and shifting cooperation from policy intent to commercially driven outcomes. Both sides reaffirmed commitment to deepening trade, investment, and business-to-business engagement.

Welcome to the November 2025 edition of the ZNCC Newsletter! This month, we are excited to bring you a wealth of information and updates that highlight our ongoing commitment to fostering business excellence and collaboration within Zimbabwe and beyond.

From the President's Desk

Warm greetings to our members, partners, and key stakeholders as we usher in 2026.

On behalf of the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC), I extend my sincere appreciation to the business community for its resilience, confidence, and steadfast commitment to sustaining enterprise and economic activity under exceptionally challenging conditions. Zimbabwean businesses have demonstrated remarkable endurance in the face of macroeconomic volatility, policy uncertainty, infrastructure constraints, and global disruptions. That resilience has preserved jobs, safeguarded productive capacity, and kept the wheels of commerce turning.

In October 2025, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce highlighted efforts to boost economic growth through policy, partnerships, and productivity.

In an exciting development for the business landscape in Zimbabwe, the 2025 Annual State of Industry and Commerce Survey Report has been officially unveiled by the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) in collaboration with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation Zimbabwe and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This comprehensive report, launched in December 2025, provides critical insights into the current state and future outlook of industry and commerce in Zimbabwe.
