The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce continues to strengthen its role as a leading voice in shaping Zimbabwe’s economic and business landscape.

The March 2026 Newsletter reflects a period of intensified engagement, strategic dialogue, and policy advocacy—anchored on a critical transition for the private sector:
moving from resilience to competitiveness.

As Zimbabwe navigates a complex economic environment influenced by both domestic policy shifts and global developments, the Chamber has remained focused on ensuring that business realities are reflected in national decision-making processes.

Key Highlights from March 2026

  Addressing concerns around the National Standard Price List and advocating for transparency, fair competition, and practical implementation frameworks.
• Taxation and Cost of Doing Business:
  Highlighting structural inefficiencies within the tax system that increase compliance costs and reduce competitiveness, while proposing reforms to simplify and harmonise tax administration.
