Zimbabwe has given foreign-owned businesses operating in reserved sectors three months to regularize or exit. New empowerment regulations set clearer thresholds, compliance rules and divestment requirements. The effort is to boost local participation in low-barrier industries. While reaffirming openness to foreign investment, government says the move prevents locals from being crowded out and ensures growth translates into broader economic inclusion.
