Zimbabwe: Economic Situation

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of South Africa about the economic crisis in Zimbabwe.

Answer

The UK regularly discusses the economic situation in Zimbabwe with our international partners, including the EU, US and South Africa. In October, at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meetings in New York, the UK met international partners including the USA, France and Germany to discuss economic and political reform in Zimbabwe. We have been clear that comprehensive political and economic reform must be delivered before the UK and our international partners will discuss arrears clearance with the Government of Zimbabwe.
