Zimbabwe’s stock index rose for a 16th day, its longest winning streak in a year, as investors speculated President Robert Mugabe’s government will put in place policies supportive of economic growth. The gauge slumped to an eight-month low on 5 September, falling 24 percent after reaching its highest level in more than four years on 1 August. “The signs have been reasonably positive.

It also said it will keep on engaging with industry on harmonizing of the indigenization program for what is best to industry,” a market analyst said.
