Foreign direct investment (FDI) into Zimbabwe is set for exponential growth spurred by bulging confidence in the new dispensation, and investor comfort after the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe put in place security guarantees to protect foreign investments under a $1,5 billion Afreximbank backed facility.
