The US House of Representatives introduced a bill to repeal the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA). ZDERA imposed sanctions limiting Zimbabwe’s access to IMF and World Bank loans for 25 years. The repeal would reopen financial engagement with Zimbabwe and require compensation to white former commercial farmers under the Global Compensation Deed. The bill is under review by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
