The ZNCC President, Mr Mike Kamungeremu, welcomed delegates to the 2023 Business Review Conference and highlighted that while all key stakeholders work towards transforming economic realities into market opportunities, awareness of the state of the economy helps guide decision-making and such information is necessary regularly.

Thus, the Chamber undertakes an annual State of Industry and Commerce Survey Report which has been instrumental in the Chamber’s bid to enhance evidence-based policymaking. Mr Mike Kamungeremu expressed gratitude and appreciation to ZNCC’s perennial partners, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Zimbabwe, and First Capital Bank Zimbabwe for their unwavering support of the Chamber’s cause. He reported that the support from these esteemed organizations made the publication of this informative Survey Report possible and ZNCC endeavours to continuously produce quality results that are of benefit to its members and the general public. He also took an opportunity to appreciate various business organizations, ZNCC members, and non-members who took the time to respond to the Survey Questionnaire.
