President Emmerson Mnangagwa says Zimbabwe is on a path to rapid socio-economic growth driven mainly by measures put in place to boost production.
The President said the production has risen remarkably across various sectors of the economy in the last few months.
His Excellency made the remarks during a virtual address to mark the 2021 International Workers Day on Saturday.
The President’s views are shared by top economists, including Mr Eddie Cross, who believes 2021 would be a year for “significant growth”.
“The implementation of our National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1) is on course, with the country now on the path to sustained socio-economic growth.
“This is anchored on increased production and productivity across all sectors of our economy.” He said.
The President said locally manufactured goods have been occupying a greater share of space in supermarkets.
”Industrial capacity was already on the way up, with locally-manufactured goods occupying a greater share of space in supermarket shelves owing to the dedication, hard work ethic and honesty exhibited by workers across all subdivisions of the country.” He said.
