The party may damage its credibility both with its own supporters (in the diaspora particularly) and regional governments. The timetable for drawing up a new constitution is likely to slip again, suggesting that elections will not be held before mid-2011 at the earliest. 0c2dbc80109fef59ae5a7040c4140665Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 Zimbabwe's power-sharing government will continue to struggle over the forecast period.

We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 59ee0a1e1c4dca4d0d244a149ee3b96eWed, 05 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The prime minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, may be acting as the public face of the government of national unity (GNU) on foreign trips, but all the signs are that the president, Robert Mugabe, is winning the struggle for control. Tensions over the timing and scope of constitutional talks could fatally undermine the GNU. With Western states largely limiting themselves to humanitarian assistance and regional countries unable to provide the vast sums of assistance required, Zimbabwe is seeking help from donors such as China. 00711116865789cd1b097edd60b39d34Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The president, Robert Mugabe, looks increasingly likely to hang on to power over the forecast period as he continues to outmanoeuvre the opposition. The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) is likely to try to persevere with the power-sharing agreement, not least because it fears that forcing an election could lead to widespread violence. The MDC will continue to seek the removal of the governor of the central bank, seeing his continued presence as an obstacle to its control over key economic ministries. e11dc6e450f93cd912556adfc939967bSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The president, Robert Mugabe, looks increasingly likely to hang on to power over the forecast period as he continues to outmanoeuvre the opposition. The new South African president may take a more proactive stance on Zimbabwe, but rapid progress is unlikely and he believes that the power-sharing agreement must be given a chance to succeed. The IMF is set to offer technical assistance, but more substantial lending programmes are unlikely while Mr Mugabe remains in the ascendant. 34a4f43c294df8027ef03313321e81a4Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Having manipulated the country's power-sharing negotiations and moved towards co-opting the opposition, the president, Robert Mugabe, may now be able to hang on to power over the forecast period. Economic policy will continue to be driven by political considerations, with the struggle for influence between the two main parties in the power-sharing government overshadowing reform. Economic growth will continue to depend almost entirely on the extent and timing of international assistance. 2ac513afc3f8abfbb9d539b5efb0184bSat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Having manipulated the country's power-sharing negotiations, the president, Robert Mugabe, may now be able to hang on to power. But the economic and humanitarian catastrophe that he has created makes his position tenuous. The stance of the next president of South Africa towards Zimbabwe will be crucial, as he will have the power to force a change in Zimbabwe's leadership. d7dc202109ee2b592df1349f72c43b04Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, is expected to leave power during the forecast period, as the economic and humanitarian catastrophe that he has brought about makes his position untenable. Mr Mugabe is, however, unlikely to leave office without a struggle, and the actions of the next president of South Africa will be crucial, as he will be in an influential position to force a change. Economic policy will continue to be driven by political considerations, and the economy will continue to contract, at a forecast rate of 4. fc4677dc670908de717c824de65f1153Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zambia_january_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The new president, Rupiah Banda, will have to deal with an opposition angry at what it claims was election-rigging, as well as trying to maintain the unity of his own party, the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD). Economic policy will be guided by the poverty reduction and growth facility (PRGF). However, the economic downturn will make full compliance more difficult. 8e866e361fd3ecfab82a1a5833483168Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/zimbabwe_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Zimbabwe, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.

A powersharing deal signed in September between Robert Mugabe's ZANUPF party and the two wings of the opposition MDC has proved impossible to implement so far, and is in danger of collapse. Regime hardliners remain unwilling to cede any real power to the MDC, particularly in regard to authority over the security forces. 7f9c1a9a7b8eaab6865b4b65ee1fe0f1Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/country_report_zimbabwe_june_2008.htmlOutlook for 2008-09 With oppression and intimidation of the opposition increasing, the scene is set for Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, and his party to steal power, even though the March 2008 elections represented opposition victories. Mr Mugabe is likely to retain the presidency at a second round of voting; those who voted against him in the first round will continue to be persecuted. Although the opposition has gained a parliamentary majority, ZANU-PF is disputing a number of seats in an effort to regain the majority. b342fbf170807057e52424d7bfc35b21Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/zimbabwe_business_forecast_report_q3_2008_1.htmlElections Unlikely To Produce Political Or Economic Change Presidential, parliamentary and local elections are set for March 2008, although the date could slip as a lack of funds has delayed preparations. Both the ruling ZANU-PF party and the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) are divided, and neither are viewed with any enthusiasm by the electorate. The MDC's already damaged credibility has been eroded further by its decision to vote with the government in parliament to pass a series of constitutional amendments proposed by the regime in exchange for very little practical advantage. e2b94ea22e746c8141a6cd840f299dafMon, 02 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/zimbabwe_business_forecast_report_q2_2008.htmlMake Or Break: March 2008 Election Crucial For over a year President Robert Mugabe has struggled to retain control over his ruling Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party. In December 2007, the party refused to endorse an extension of his mandate until 2010, forcing him into a general election scheduled for March 29, 2008. Mugabe is expected to coast to victory, in what will likely be a highly tainted ballot, devoid of credible international monitoring. 2c4b92b2bff131e2bd1f4b6a45face5cMon, 03 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwehttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/zimbabwe/zimbabwe_business_forecast_report_q3_2007_1.htmlRepression, Hunger, And Hyperinflation President Robert Mugabe's control over his divided ZANU-PF party and the security forces is tenuous, but so far has held enough for him to impose his candidacy for the March 2008 presidential election. Parliamentary elections will be held at the same time, and in an apparent bid to drum up support, the constitution is being doctored and constituency boundaries gerrymandered. Any possible threat that might arise from the opposition is being dealt with by brutal and violent repression of its leadership and followers, with similar treatment being meted out to the independent media, human rights lawyers and pro-democracy advocates. 2236921361168a4ecba8ea7f551c26e5Wed, 30 May 2007 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Zimbabwe
