Zimbabwe increased foreign direct investment nearly eightfold in four years to $387m in 2011, up from just $51.6m in 2008, according to World Bank statistics, a South African newspaper reported today.

This obviously attracts those investors who are positive about Zimbabwe going forward,” the paper quoted an economist as saying.
