Post-Brexit African Investment conference: Zimbabwe sending strong team to UK

England, London cityscape, river Thames in foreground, dusk Zimbabwean businesses are expected to attend the Africa Investment Conference to be hosted by the United Kingdom (UK) Department for International Trade next year in January. The one-day virtual event to be held on January 20, 2021 will bring together British and African businesses to explore opportunities for partnership and investment. The conference is a business-to-business initiative where Zimbabwean businesses would also be invited to participate, particularly those in the renewable energy sector, as greener and more sustainable investment would be a key focus at the conference. The conference comes one year after the UK-Africa Investment Summit hosted by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in London where 27 trade and investment deals worth £6.5billion and commitments worth £8.9 billion were announced.

December 7, 2020: Transatlantic Trade: US and Europe

Tuesday, December 15, 2020 Last week, the United Kingdom (UK) moved forward with its first inoculations of the approved Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.  The United States (US) approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Friday, 11 December, and will begin inoculations this coming week.  The European Union (EU) continues to stress safety over speed in its vaccine approval process and has yet to follow suit. The UK sealed the deal on a number of Free Trade Agreements, while talks with the EU continue without any significant breakthroughs.  Meanwhile, the UK and EU are also preparing for a possible hard exit scenario. This past week, Poland and Hungary reached a compromise with the EU on the custom union’s Budget and Recovery Fund, which will allow funds to flow at the start of the new year.  The 116th US Congress, meanwhile, continues negotiations over a new COVID relief package, amid other priorities before adjourning.
