(16 Jan 1981) RR8103A ZIMBABWE ECONOMY REPORT
Background to Story: Zimbabwe has celebrated its first New Year as an independent
country with black majority rule. Prime Minister Mugabe has political problems, but
the economy is one of his main concerns. Rhodesia endured long years of trade
sanctions as a breakaway British colony; the guerrilla war was long and costly,
and whites have left in thousands, taking with them expertise and know-how. Big
resettlement and reconstruction projects are under way, with special emphasis on
agriculture, but Zimbabwe says it has still not received sufficient foreign aid to
help it to carry them out.
