Transitional Stabilisation Programme
ZIMBABWE TRANSITIONAL STABILISATION PROGRAMME REFORMS AGENDA October 2018 – December 2020 “Towards a Prosperous & Empowered Upper Middle Income Society by 2030” 05 October 2018 Harare 1 i PREFACE The holding of a free, fair, credible and peaceful election on 30 July 2018, ushered in the Second Republic, allowing me to constitute its first Government. Our immediate task is walking the talk with regards to fulfilling the electoral promises and commitments we made during campaigns for office. First and foremost, is embarking on the implementation of national development policy initiatives and programmes to transform our economy to realise Vision 2030, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the AU Agenda 2063. This is a reflection of the collective determination and aspiration of the people of Zimbabwe for a Prosperous and Empowered Upper Middle Income Society by 2030. This Transitional Stabilisation Programme, over October 2018 – December 2020, prioritises fiscal consolidation, economic stabilisation, and stimulation of growth and creation of employment. Adoption and implementation of prudent fiscal and complementary monetary policies will anchor return of investor confidence lost over the past two decades, stabilising the macro- economic environment, which is conducive for opening up to more business. The Transitional Stabilisation Programme outlines policies, strategies and projects that guide Zimbabwe’s social and economic development interventions up to December 2020, simultaneously targeting immediate quick-wins and laying a robust base for economic growth for the period 2021-2030. The Economic growth envisaged during the Programme period will inevitably be driven by the private sector, with Government facilitating a supportive macro-economic and business environment. iii Focus will be on value addition and beneficiation, to realise higher value exports, and cushioning the economy from the vagaries of international commodity price fluctuations associated with over-dependence on export of raw commodities.
