Featured Insights & Perspectives
Published Thursday
Zimbabwe’s malls, fast-food queues, and weekend shows tell a story of youthful energy and rising consumption. But beneath the surface lies a harder truth: less than 10% of the population has medical cover, only 2% receive a formal pension, and most workers remain outside the safety net. This issue of The Acorn Report examines the looming retirement cliff and how deepening capital markets could transform today’s hustle into tomorrow’s security.
Analyst Perspective:
Guest contributor Jabulani Simplisio Chibaya highlights the paradox of a nation consuming like a middle-income economy while saving like one of the least protected populations. He explores how trust, financial literacy, and regulated investment vehicles from pension funds to REITs and ZEEX can redirect capital away from informal schemes and toward sustainable, long-term growth.
