PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa<\/a> has urged individuals within the country\u2019s business community to abandon their \u201csuperman\u201d mentality and try to rally forces towards reversing the country\u2019s negative economic trajectory.<\/p>\n

He was addressing captains of industry at the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNNC) Business Review Conference at a hotel in Harare Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just looking at your figures Cde Deputy Governor Reserve Bank, last year when you invited me, the economic growth was at 3.4%, this year it is -6.5%. I am sure that\u2019s why you have changed the venue,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sounds funny when we have a -6.5 of our GDP but once again the national agenda requires collaborative efforts from all stakeholders, partners and the business sector in particular.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou remain an integral party in our reform efforts as we pursue private sector led economic growth and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country is in transition and in the process, there are so many hurdles which we have to conquer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe raft of reform measures we as government are implementing are aimed at increasing the viability and competitiveness of your business across all sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, this calls for a positive response from all of us business and labour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa called upon Zimbabwean industry to work together with ZimTrade for export promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the need to increase production and productivity across all sectors, equally business should aim a minimum of 20% of their goods for the export market and 80% for the domestic or local market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve this, it is indeed integral that all sectors must increase inter-sector organisational liaison and collaboration in particular, ZimTrade for export promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilo mentality and the superman mentality will only slow down our own economic quest, we are stronger working together, those with vision and those without.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
