Whilst literature has many monetary and economic policies that were enacted before and after the dawn of the New Dispensation in Zimbabwe the country still faces a downward trend in terms of economic recovery. This study reviews the various policies put in place by the government and their impact on socio-economic development of Zimbabwe. A review of Zimbabwe’s economic history shows that the country dropped from being one of the best economies in Sub-Saharan Africa and now ailing and characterised by hyperinflation, agricultural challenges, corruption, very high tax regime, huge domestic and foreign debts, increase in consumer prices and being a chief net importer of most goods or services. The study was underpinned by a case study survey from Singapore’s revival with both qualitative and quantitative instruments used. The study found out that even though the land reform had an impact on economic performance, corruption, party-power politics and absence of an economic institute eroded any necessary contribution to economic transformation and industrialization in Zimbabwe. The study also revealed that the bilateral and multi-lateral agreements that were enacted in the dawn of the new dispensation have not yielded the desired economic revival transformations. The study recommended establishment of an economic institute to direct policy as well as removal of unethical practices in both public and private sectors so as to ensure financial and economic discipline.

This study examined the constraints to implementing technological entrepreneurship development programs in Nigeria. A survey was conducted of 160 small business owners. The results showed that accessibility to the programs (28.1%) and finance (24.2%) were the major limiting factors. Lack of awareness was the least constraining factor at 3.8%. In general, the study concluded that accessibility and finance are the primary constraints hindering the implementation of entrepreneurial development programs in Nigeria.
This document discusses vertical industrial policy and argues that it is an illusion for poverty reduction. It defines vertical and horizontal industrial policy. Vertical policy selectively favors certain industries while horizontal policy benefits all industries equally through public goods. The document outlines several arguments against vertical policy, including rent-seeking, information problems, inflexibility, targeting the wrong sectors, and susceptibility to shocks. It also discusses preconditions like governance, institutions, and development framework that are often lacking. Case studies of Malaysia and Sierra Leone show how horizontal policies may be better for building capabilities and innovation. The conclusion is that the best vertical policy for poverty reduction is no policy at all.

South Asian countries have experienced economic growth in recent decades but it has not been inclusive or sustainable. Poverty remains high at around 40% due to a lack of investment in human capital like education and health. Social spending as a percentage of GDP is lower in South Asia than in Sub-Saharan Africa. For growth to be inclusive and sustainable, South Asian countries need reforms like improving governance, boosting regional connectivity and cooperation, investing in people, and liberalizing trade and mobility. Civil society will need to advocate for these reforms to realize the promise of inclusive growth across South Asia.

Ethiopia’s Manufacturing Industry Opportunities, Challenges and Way Forward: ...CrimsonpublishersNTNF
This document provides an overview of Ethiopia's manufacturing industry, including its opportunities, challenges, and way forward. Some key points:
- Ethiopia has experienced rapid economic growth in recent decades, but manufacturing makes up a small portion of GDP and is underdeveloped compared to other sectors.
- The top manufacturing subsectors by value added are food and beverages, non-metallic minerals, and metal/engineering. However, exports remain primarily agricultural commodities rather than value-added goods.
- Major challenges for manufacturing growth include an unskilled workforce, limited infrastructure, shallow R&D, and underdeveloped market systems.
- To strengthen manufacturing, the document recommends strategies like skills training, integrated
Industries are the most important aspect of the economy as they involve the production of goods and services. There are different types of industries like agro-based, marine-based, and mineral-based industries. Creative industries, which involve activities like advertising, films, and music, account for around 45% of economic revenue. Industrialization is the process of transforming an agrarian economy into an industrial one through socio-economic changes and the application of scientific methods. It is a long-term process that involves division of labor and is accompanied by social and economic changes. Major industries in India include the sugar, iron and steel, and service industries.

Impact of globalization on small scale industries inAafaq Malik
The document discusses the impact of globalization on small scale industries in India. It notes that globalization and liberalization have led to increased competition for small industries from large foreign companies. This competition has negatively impacted small industries in India, with many being forced to close down due to cheaper imports. However, small industries remain important for India's economic growth by providing employment opportunities and equitable income distribution across the country. The document analyzes growth trends in small industries before and after liberalization to understand the effects of globalization.

Impact of Globalization on MSME Prospects, Challenges and Policy Implementati...ijtsrd
Globalisation is bound to impact every economic activity -the small scale sector is no exception. Along with that World Trade Organisation W.T.O agreements and negotiations have thrown up a variety of challenges. The disturbing factor is that most of the small units are unaware of these agreements and negotiations and have no idea as to how they are going to affect them. With a view to build the capacity of the Indian micro, small and medium manufacturing enterprises for overcoming competition in the global markets and facing challenges being posed by the entry of the multi nationals in the domestic markets Government of India GoI has taken various policy measures. The current paper focuses on the contribution of MSMEs, prospects and problems for MSMEs in this highly competitive global era. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises MSME sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. MSMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural and backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth, the process of globalization is an inevitable phenomenon in human history which has been bringing the world closer since the time of early trader and exploration through the exchange of goods, products, information, jobs, knowledge and culture.

This document provides context for Singapore's productivity challenges by describing key economic events from the 1980s to 1990s. It summarizes that Singapore faced an economic recession in 1985 after pursuing rapid industrialization and wage increases in prior decades. In response, the government formed an Economic Committee to review policies and identify causes of the recession, including a loss of competitiveness from rising business costs and wage rigidities. The committee's report highlighted that high wage costs were a major contributor to high business costs and Singapore's declining competitiveness compared to other industrializing nations.
Productivity challenges in Singapore - Part 4 02062015Hawyee Auyong
This document summarizes key challenges to raising productivity in Singapore. It notes that Singapore has a highly trade-dependent economy, so global economic slowdown has had a large negative impact on productivity through weaker demand. It also discusses how productivity growth in Singapore is often pro-cyclical. Additionally, the large number of university graduates each year risks creating a "graduate glut" and potential skills mismatch in the workforce. Maintaining high productivity growth will be difficult given these structural issues and prospects of ongoing weak global economic conditions.

Impact of Government Policies on productivityBirpartap Singh
Government policies have impacted productivity in various sectors in India. In manufacturing, total factor productivity growth was slow or negative from 1951-1979 but has not improved significantly in the post-reform period from 1980-2007. In agriculture, total factor productivity growth rates were approximately 1.45-2.33% per year between 1973-1993. In the automotive industry, policies like allowing 100% FDI and exempting manufacturing from licensing have supported growth. However, productivity in India's defense sector has been limited by the government's failure to sufficiently encourage private sector involvement in defense production.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha pledged full support for the Thailand Board of Investment's (BOI) new investment promotion policies, which include cluster development incentives aimed at attracting investors and boosting Thailand's competitiveness. The policies are seen as the biggest changes to investment promotion in 20 years. They aim to strengthen industrial value chains, attract value-added investments, and create business opportunities. Investors in designated super clusters can receive an 8-year corporate income tax exemption and additional 5-year 50% tax reduction. The new policies are expected to accelerate investment and raise industry standards, contributing significantly to Thailand's economic and social development.

Can ICT Reduce Poverty and Unemployment and Elevate Development Integrating M...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) can boost the performance of people and improve
overall human capital for the alleviation of poverty in a
society. Today, ICT is considered as one of the major
sources of driving force for the overall economic
development integrating with Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (MSMEs). The e-Commerce has a great role in
achieving business performance in the emerging Asian
countries. However, MSMEs are experiencing more
challenges that prevent them from further increasing their
business. The earlier studies question to which extent
MSMEs have benefited from these businesses. Therefore,
the main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the
importance of ICT in developing MSMEs based on the
success stories of emerging Asian countries. This study
based on subjective/argumentative i.e., idea generation in
Information Systems (IS). The findings of the study reveal
that the MSMEs utilizing ICT can alleviate poverty and
unemployment. It also reveals that MSMEs with ICT and
e-Commerce can enhance employment and new job
creation that can contribute to the overall economic
development. This study is expected to extend for further
an empirical investigation broadly on the same issue to
validate the research results.

Global Value Chain Development and Structural Transformation in NigeriaDr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes an Africa Economic Brief from the African Development Bank that examines global value chain development and structural transformation in Nigeria. It finds that Nigeria has significant potential to develop global value chains in key commodities and industries where it has comparative advantages, such as cocoa, cassava, oil and gas, and manufacturing. However, Nigeria currently has low levels of participation and integration in global value chains compared to other African and developing countries. The brief outlines government efforts underway through programs like the Staple Crop Processing Zones and Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan that aim to boost value chain development and could help drive structural economic transformation. It concludes that developing global value chains should be a priority to diversify Nigeria's economy and promote more inclusive growth.

It meets the financial needs of commerce, industry, and agriculture. As a result, the country's development and the banking system are intertwined. They are critical in the mobilisation of savings and the distribution of credit to various sectors of the economy. India's private sector banks play a critical role in the country's economic development. So The financial performance of private sector banks must be evaluated carefully.
An Empirical Analysis of Financial Performance of Selected Oil Exploration an...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
After the United States, China, and Japan, India was the world's fourth biggest consumer of oil and petroleum products. The nation is significantly reliant on crude oil imports, the majority of which come from the Middle East. The Indian oil and gas business is one of the country's six main sectors, with important forward links to the rest of the economy. More than two-thirds of the country's overall primary energy demands are met by the oil and gas industry. The industry has played a key role in placing India on the global map. India is now the world's sixth biggest crude oil user and ninth largest crude oil importer. In addition, the country's portion of the worldwide refining market is growing. India's refining industry is now the world's sixth biggest. With plans for Reliance Petroleum Limited to commission another refinery with a capacity of 29 MTPA next 16 to its 33 MTPA refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat, this position is projected to be enhanced. As a consequence, the Reliance refinery would be the biggest single-site refinery in the world. Based on secondary data gathered from CMIE, the current research examines the ratios influencing the profitability of selected oil exploration and production businesses in India during a 10-year period.
Since 1991, thanks to economic policy liberalization, the Indian economy has entered an era in which Indian businesses can no longer disregard global markets. Prior to the 1990s, the prices of a variety of commodities, metals, and other assets were carefully regulated. Others, which were not rolled, were primarily dependant on regulated input costs. As a result, there was no uncertainty and, as a result, no price fluctuations. However, in 1991, when the process of deregulation began, the prices of most items were deregulated. It has also resulted in the exchange being partially deregulated, easing trade restrictions, lowering interest rates, and making significant advancements in foreign institutional investors' access to the capital markets, as well as establishing market-based government securities pricing, among other things. Furthermore, portfolio and securities price volatility and instability were influenced by market-determined exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, hedging strategies employing a variety of derivatives were exposed to a variety of risks. The Indian capital market will be examined in this study, with a focus on derivatives.

Techno-Economic Aspects of Solid Food Wastes into Bio-ManureDr. Amarjeet Singh
Solid waste is health hazard and cause damage to the environment due to improper handling. Solid waste comprises of Industrial Waste (IW), Hazardous Waste (HW), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Electronic waste (E-waste), Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) which depend on their supply & characteristics. Food waste or Bio-waste composting and its role in sustainable development is explained in food waste is a growing area of concern with many costs to our community in terms of waste collection, disposal and greenhouse gases. When rotting food ends up in landfill it turns into methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly damaging to the environment. Composting is biochemical process in which organic materials are biologically degraded, resulting in the production of organic by products and energy in the form of heat. Heat is trapped within the composting mass, leading to the phenomenon of self-heating. This overall process provide us Bio-Manure.
Crypto-Currencies: Can Investors Rely on them as Investment Avenue?Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The purpose of this study is to examine investors’ perceptions about investing in crypto-currencies. We think that investors trust in crypto-currencies is largely driven by crypto-currency comprehension, trust in government, and transaction speed. This is the first study to examine crypto-currencies from the investor’s perspective. Following that, we discover important antecedents of crypto-currency confidence. Second, we look at the government's role in crypto-currencies. The importance of this study is: first, crypto-currencies have the potential to disrupt the current economic system as the debate is all about impact of decentralization of transactions; thus, further research into how it affects investors trust is essential; and second, access to crypto-currencies. Finally, if Fin-Tech companies or banks want to enter the bitcoin industry may not attract huge advertising costs as well as marketing to soothe clients' concerns about investing in various digital currencies The research sheds light on indecisiveness in the context of marketing aspects adopted by demonstrating investors are aware about the crypto.
Awareness of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) among Student of the Catanduanes S...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The Island Province of Catanduanes is prone to all types of natural hazards that includes torrential and heavy rains, strong winds and surge, flooding and landslide or slope failures as a result of its geographical location and topography. RA 10121 mandates local DRRM bodies to “encourage community, specifically the youth, participation in disaster risk reduction and management activities, such as organizing quick response groups, particularly in identified disaster-prone areas, as well as the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and management programs as part of youth programs and projects. The study aims to determine the awareness to disaster of the student of the Catanduanes State University. The disaster-based questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 636 students selected randomly from different Colleges and Laboratory Schools in the University
The Catanduanes State University students understood some disaster-related concepts and ideas, but uncertain on issues on preparedness, adaptation, and awareness on the risks inflicted by these natural hazards. Low perception on disaster risks are evidently observed among students. The responses of the students could be based on the efficiency and impact of the integration of DRR education in the senior high school curriculum. Specifically, integration of the concepts about the hazards, hazard maps, disaster preparedness, awareness, mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resiliency in the science curriculum possibly affect the knowledge and understanding of students on DRR. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM.
The study further recommends that teachers and instructor must also be capacitated in handling disaster as they are the prime movers in the implementation of the DRRM in education. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. Core subjects in Earth Sciences must be reinforced with geologic hazards. Learning competencies must also be focused on hazard identification and mapping, and coping with different geologic disaster.
The 1857 war was a watershed moment in the history of the Indian subcontinent. The battle has sparked academic debate among historians and sociologists all around the world. Despite the fact that it has been more than 150 years, this battle continues to pique the interest of historians. The war's causes and events that occurred throughout the conflict, persons who backed the British and anti-British fighters, and the results and ramifications, are all aspects of this conflict. In terms of outcomes, many academics believe that the war was a failure for those who started it. It is often assumed that the Indians who battled the British in this conflict were unable to achieve their goals. Many gains accrued to Indians as a result of the conflict, but these achievements are overshadowed by the dispute over the war's failure. This research effort focuses on the war's achievements for India, and the significance of those achievements.
Haryana's Honour Killings: A Social and Legal Point of ViewDr. Amarjeet Singh
Life is unpredictably unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen in the next minute of their lives. In this circumstance, every human being has the right and desire to conduct their lives according to their own desires. No one should be forced to live a life solely for the benefit and reputation of others. Honour killing is defined as the assassination of a person, whether male or female, who refuses to accept the family's arranged marriage or decides to move her or his marital life according to her or his wishes solely because it jeopardizes the family's honour. The family's supreme authority looks after the family's name but neglects to consider the love and affection shared among family members. I have discussed honour killing in India in my research work. This sort of murder occurs as a result of particular triggers, which are also examined in relation to the role of the law in honour killing. No one can be released free if they break the law, and in this case, it is a felony that violates various regulations designed to safeguard citizens. This crime is similar to many others, but it is distinct enough to be differentiated in the report. When the husband is of low social standing, it lowers the position and caste of the female family, prompting the male family members to murder the girl. But they forget that the girl is their kid and that while rank may be attained, a girl's life can never be replaced, and that caste is less valuable than the girl's life and love spent with them.

The article concludes digitalization is both a challenge and opportunity for MSMEs to adapt their traditional business models and survive or grow
Modal Space Controller for Hydraulically Driven Six Degree of Freedom Paralle...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper presents the Modal space decoupled control for a hydraulically driven parallel mechanism has been presented. The approach is based on singular values decomposition to the properties of joint-space inverse mass matrix, and mapping of the control and feedback variables from the joint space to the decoupling modal space. The method transformed highly coupled six-input six-output dynamics into six independent single-input single-output (SISO) 1 DOF hydraulically driven mechanical systems. The novelty in this method is that the signals including control errors, control outputs and pressure feedbacks are transformed into decoupled modal space and also the proportional gains and dynamic pressure feedback are tuned in modal space. The results indicate that the conventional controller can only attenuate the resonance peaks of the lower eigenfrequencies of six rigid modes properly, and the peaking points of other relative higher eigenfrequencies are over damped, The further results show that it is very effective to design and tune the system in modal space and that the bandwidth increased substantially except surge (x) and sway (y) motions, each degree of freedom can be almost tuned independently and their bandwidths can be increased near to the undamped eigenfrequencies.
It is a known fact that a large number of Steel Industry Expansion projects in India have been delayed due to regulatory clearances, environmental issues and problems pertaining to land acquisition. Also, there are challenges in the tendering phase that affect viability of projects thus delaying implementation, construction phase is beset with over-runs and disputes and last but not the least; provider skills are weak all across the value chain. Given the critical role of Steel Sector in ensuring a sustained growth trajectory for India, it is imperative that we identify the core issues affecting completion of infrastructure projects in India and chalk out initiatives that need to be acted upon in short term as well as long term.

ABSTRACT
Whilst literature has many monetary and economic
policies that were enacted before and after the dawn of the
New Dispensation in Zimbabwe the country still faces a
downward trend in terms of economic recovery. This study
reviews the various policies put in place by the government
and their impact on socio-economic development of
Zimbabwe. A review of Zimbabwe’s economic history shows
that the country dropped from being one of the best economies
in Sub-Saharan Africa and now ailing and characterised by
hyperinflation, agricultural challenges, corruption, very high
tax regime, huge domestic and foreign debts, increase in
consumer prices and being a chief net importer of most goods
or services. The study was underpinned by a case study survey
from Singapore’s revival with both qualitative and
quantitative instruments used. The study found out that even
though the land reform had an impact on economic
performance, corruption, party-power politics and absence of
an economic institute eroded any necessary contribution to
economic transformation and industrialization in Zimbabwe.
The study also revealed that the bilateral and multi-lateral
agreements that were enacted in the dawn of the new
dispensation have not yielded the desired economic revival
transformations. The study recommended establishment of an
economic institute to direct policy as well as removal of
unethical practices in both public and private sectors so as to
ensure financial and economic discipline.

Transformation, Industrialization
I. INTRODUCTION AND
BACKGROUND
The African Economic Outlook (2018) points out
that a key part of African growth accelerations require not
only the creation of jobs in modern agriculture, industry,
and services, but also policies that empower the poor and
the low-skilled workers so that they can take advantage of
the new opportunities that arise with structural
transformation. A first priority for African governments is
to encourage a shift toward labour absorbing growth paths.
They should put in place programs and policies aimed at
modernizing the agricultural sector, which employs most of
the population and is typically the main step toward
industrialization. A second priority is to invest in human
capital, particularly in the entrepreneurial skills of youth, to
facilitate the transition to higher-productivity modern
sectors. A review of Zimbabwe‟s economic history shows
that the country dropped from being one of the best
economies in Sub-Saharan Africa to an ailing economy
characterized by hyperinflation, fuel and food shortages,
low agricultural output, corruption, highest tax regime,
huge domestic and foreign debts, increase in consumer
prices and being a chief net importer of most goods or
services. The country is now a warehouse for foreign
companies selling their products and the nation has been
reduced to a consumer economy. It was also anticipated that
the dawn of the new dispensation was going to see
immediate bilateral and multi-lateral agreements yielding
the desired economic revival. The purpose of this study is
to thus make a comparative analysis of how Singapore and
Rwanda managed to put their economies on course and find
out lessons that Zimbabwe can learn from their experiences
in order to operationalize the Transitional Stabilization
Program Agenda (African Economic Outlook, 2018).
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Singaporean Experience
Singapore was a colony of Britain from 1819-1959
and joined the Malaysian Federation from 1963-1965, upon
which she gained total independence in 1965. Singapore
experienced economic and other challenges and went
through dry patches until it formed the Economic
Development Board (EDB) to spearhead economic
development programs in the country. Prior to EDB
formation, the government consulted the United Nations for
guidance on the course of action to pursue in order to
reduce unemployment and improve on the economic sector
side. By then Singapore had no industrial tradition, was
labour intensive and had limited capital for its investment
drive. Through the United Nations Industrial Survey
Mission (1960-61) recommendations, the country embarked
on an industrialization drive riding on an entrepreneurial

trading base in already in existence and a population greatly
working in processing and services sectors of the economy
where expertise was in abundance. The domestic market
was too small to support many viable industries and the
government intervened to bring all the critical factors into
action. Then followed the establishment of an independent
Economic Development Board (EDB)whose responsibility
to promote investment and the continued economic success
of Singapore in conjunction with the Ministry of Trade. It
vision was to promote Singapore as a compelling global
hub for business and investment at building sustainable
Gross Domestics Product, good jobs and business
opportunities for the Singapore population. The main
mantra was, „begin your journey in Asia‟ using Singapore
as the best location. In 2006, it contributed to more than 40
per cent of Singapore‟s GDP; achieving S$8.8 billion
commitments in new manufacturing investments while
service companies committed S$2.8 billion in new business
spending (The EDB Annual Report, 2006/07). According to
Seth and Ong (2008), the EDB has charted several
strategies to realize its vision of Singapore as a premier hub
for value-creating investments: strengthen industry clusters,
identify and grow new clusters, nurture innovation-driven
enterprises, develop new geographies, and make
Singapore‟s environment conducive and competitive for
global business. A number of factors can perhaps be
discerned as having contributed to EDB‟s pivotal role in
Singapore‟s economic growth. The first is clear and strong
government support that is translated into the operating
institutional framework is a one-stop, pro-business quasi-
public agency, with resources for implementation. The
second is the EDB philosophy of „committed to deliver,
courage to dream and bold in design‟, which has resulted in
a carefully crafted economic development program. The
third is the capacity to change, to stay ahead of world
trends, innovate and make quick adjustments to meet
changing times. Such legerity is crucial to staying
competitive. The Singapore EDB experience is a reassertion
of other aspects of Singapore‟s post-independence
development that provides one model of how given the
appropriate operational environment, concepts can be
translated into practical programs and implemented to
achieve the desired results. Table 1 below shows a steady in
Gross Domestic Product Growth for Singapore over a
period 1980-2019.This typifies a mature political system,
lasting economic blue prints based on empirical research
and strong cultural integration that unites all people for a
common purpose (Seetoh and Ong, 2008).

2.2 Zimbabwean Experience
Bangwayo (2002) argues that for 25 years (1965-
1990) Zimbabwe s economy was revolving around the
import substitution ideologies. The respective benefits did
not accrue as the growth rate was not impressive coupled
with low investment, low savings, high inflation and low
employment by the end of the eighties decade. Zimbabwe
began to face foreign-exchange shortages, partly as a result
of declining world prices for its major agricultural exports,
chiefly tobacco and cotton, and partly as a result of
government s determination to repay debts and reduce its
debt service ratio. High levels of trade restrictions had
seriously discouraged exports and their reductions were
expected to result in improved trade performance in the
region. The period 1980 to 2019 has seen a series of
economic blue prints being launched in Zimbabwe with the

The above table shows that the economic
performance of the various economic blueprints introduced
by the Zimbabwean government did not yield much benefit
to the whole populace even though projections for 2019
seem to be a 4.2% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
rate.
The African Economic Outlook (2018)
summarizes the Zimbabwean economic situation for the
period 2016 to 2020 as follows:
“Economic growth is expected to improve to an
estimated 2.6% in 2017 from 0.7% in 2016, driven by
stronger performance in agriculture, mining, electricity,
and water. Economic performance in 2018 is likely to be
affected by political changes; real GDP growth is projected
to be 1% in 2018 and 1.2% in 2019. The economy continues
to face structural challenges from high informality, weak
domestic demand, high public debt, weak investor
confidence, and a challenging political environment. The
country is experiencing a liquidity crisis, which is a
manifestation of structural deficiencies and distortions in
the economy. Progress was made in improving the business
climate, but governance and accountability remain
problematic.”
The above description indicates that there are a lot
of issues to be resolved in order to create a favorable
economic environment for both domestic and external
investors to start their business. Two major factors needed
are confidence and trust in the existing government as
pointed out by Africa Economic Forum, 2018,p.14) that, „
African countries should strengthen their economic
resilience and dynamism to lift their economies to a new
growth equilibrium driven by innovation and productivity
rather than by natural resources. Macroeconomic policy
strategy should aim at ensuring external competitiveness to
avoid real exchange rate overvaluation and take the full
benefits of trade, improve fiscal revenue, and rationalize
public expenditure. To achieve these goals, the
macroeconomic framework must blend real exchange rate
flexibility, domestic revenue mobilization, and judicious
demand management‟. The World Bank (2018) maintain
that in order to improve efficiency, governments should
also focus on the soft side of infrastructure development,
mainly policy and regulatory issues, on education and
training of the teams involved in infrastructure financing,
and on constant research to keep up with new knowledge.
African countries should better leverage public funds and
infrastructure investments, while encouraging private sector
participation.
III. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The research study was guided by the following
objectives:
1. To establish lessons that Zimbabwe can learn from the
Singaporean economic development experience.
2. To explore how Zimbabwe can be out of the current
economic doldrums.
IV. METHODOLOGY
The research was guided by a case study and
literature review on Singapore‟s industrialisation. These
were used to establish lessons that Zimbabwe can learn
from Singapore‟s case. According to Bowen (2009) and
O‟Leary (2014), the document study or case study method
or analysis is a social research method and tool in its own
right, and is an invaluable part of most schemes of research.
The purpose of case study is to provide a confluence of
evidence that breeds credibility (Bowen, 2009).
V. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A number of findings were established from the
Singapore case study. The following table gives the

comparative findings between the two economies of Singapore and Zimbabwe.
Singapore Zimbabwe
Singapore had no industry tradition, had a lot
of entrepreneurs in the services industries
Introduced mandatory technical skills, e.g.
ICT for everyone
Thrust in education- learn in order to create a
job. Finance options
Best believe in home grown solutions to any
economic or social problem
Members of Parliament sit for exams first
before voted.
Culture central to economic development
Investment in Language such as English was
seen as a vehicle for economic growth as it helped in
communication
Zimbabwe is agro-based, industrious nation
Less entrepreneurial minds
ICT still a preserve of a few gifted people
Thrust in education- learn in order to get a job
Trust in outside failed experiments
No finance options to an research prototypes
Culture dilemma, even though it has
hardworking people
Language policy not still require more
sprucing
VI. DISCUSSIONS
The study noted the following as key lessons
Zimbabwe can learn from the Singaporean experience:
a. Singapore is a City state almost the size of Harare
in Zimbabwe, started with no industry, relies on
airport charges, seaport charges, service industry
and entrepreneurial talent amongst its citizens.
Zimbabwe has to establish the necessary
infrastructure like national entrepreneurial school
to help in culture and attitude change so as to make
people believe in home grown solutions and
increase demand for locally manufactured goods.
b. Singapore set up a board which politicians
respected- The Economic Development Board
which had autonomy to make economic decisions.
Section 34 of the document entitled, Towards an
Upper –Middle Income Economy by 2030,
Government of Zimbabwe, (19 April 2018, P: 10),
states that “good governance based on Rule of
Law, Human Rights and Freedoms,
Accountability, Transparency, Responsiveness,
Equity and Inclusivity, Efficiency and Full
Participation of the people in socio-economic
development, is the bed-rock for a new democratic
and developmental Zimbabwe.” This implies that
if the government is going to respect its own
institutions, chances are high that economic
revival is going to be a success story. This will
help reduce levels of corruption and unnecessary
government interferences in the operations of its
entities that impedes accountability and
transparency.
c. Singapore supported its own local investors and
entrepreneurs and this improved the economy
greatly. If the same is done to Zimbabwe, no
foreign debt will accrue and no repatriation of
funds will happen which creates liquid crisis and
hyperinflationary cases.
d. Singapore introduced an education policy which
meant all people were trained in mandatory
technical skills, e.g. ICT for everyone in order to
embrace the developmental changes. The same
can be applied to Zimbabwe so as to drive the
desired changes and also to have a forceful thrust
in education- learn in order to create a job. Finance
options.
e. Singapore believed in its research institutions and
this helped to build mutual trust amongst industry,
institutions of higher learning like universities and
polytechnics and the government. If Zimbabwe
could invest more into research and take the 5.0
Education system in its totality that will provide a
window for a fast economic growth.
f. Members of Parliament sit for exams first before
voted in Singapore, yet this is the opposite in
Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe public officers must also
learn disciplines such as public economics and
policy, constitutional law and governance before
being voted into office for a results oriented focus
in public projects execution.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
The study found out that even though the land
reform had an impact on economic performance, corruption

and party-power politics eroded all such performance
benefits. This was also coupled with absence of an
economic institute that gives direction to economic
direction have a direct contribution to Economic
transformation and industrialization.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The study recommends establishment of a
Knowledge economy institute to direct policy as well as
removal of unethical practices in both public and private
sectors so as to ensure financial discipline if the economic
trajectory is to bear meaningful results.
