Doing business in Zimbabwe

Investing
The Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA) is the one-stop shop for investment licences, and it also runs the special economic zones.
Trade agreements
Zimbabwe belongs to SADC and COMESA and is a state party to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which lowers tariffs on goods from many African partners.
Currency and payments
The Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) circulates alongside the US dollar, which is widely used in trade. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe sets the foreign exchange rules, so check its current directives before planning payments or sending profits abroad.
Tax and customs
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) collects taxes and runs customs at the borders.
Exporting and sourcing
ZimTrade, the national trade development agency, helps exporters reach new markets and helps foreign buyers find Zimbabwean suppliers.
