Economic View: We retain our view that the Zimbabwean economy will grow by only 3.4% in 2014, as much-needed foreign investment will continue to be constrained by investor wariness over government policy. The risks are tilted to the upside as the economy will grow rapidly if authorities are able to attract more investment than we currently anticipate. Meanwhile, any premature return to a domestic currency presents the biggest downside risk.
