The Zimbabwe Investment Authority has urged investors to look beyond Zimbabwe's previous political and economic challenges by starting businesses in the country.

Zimbabwe went through a decade of recession between 1999 and 2008, but the introduction of the multi-currency system in 2009 and the formation of the coalition Government halted consecutive years of gross domestic product contraction.

"As the elections are now over and a Government is in place for the next five years, we want to urge all investors who might have been sitting on the fence for some time, to now move in and explore the abundant investment opportunities across all sectors of the economy," ZIA chairman Nigel Chanakira said.
