EU envoys offer rare positive view of Zim

Diplomats from some of Zimbabwe’s long-time critics this week offered a rare vote of confidence in the country’s economic prospects, signalling a tentative shift in sentiment after years of strained relations.

The remarks came as European governments and businesses said they were encouraged by what they said were signs of improving macro-economic stability.

However, the envoys said sustained capital inflows will depend on Harare delivering on long-promised structural reforms.
