CONCLUDING REMARKS REFERENCES 1. INTRODUCTION The gist of the Government’s Investment Guidelines and Opportunities in Zimbabwe1 can be summed up by the title of the first chapter: “Towards a New Economic Order: Investment Policy Statement and Action Plan of the Government of Zimbabwe.” The guidelines promise investors an economic reform agenda based on a sound market economy in order to build a competitive private sector. The main policy thrusts also include the payment of compensation to commercial farmers, whose land was seized; a commitment to repay the government’s domestic and foreign debts; and respecting international obligations under Bilateral Investment Protection and Promotion Agreements (BIPPAs). Corruption, it avers, will be dealt with severely. These issues clearly illustrate that the economic fortunes of nations not only depend on the application of sound economic principles and public financial management; they are also inseparable from matters of politics and governance.
