A run of bad luck is going to arrive in business of foreign entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe. So, the African country’s government has brought forward an ultimatum to foreigners who own businesses and factories. Foreign entrepreneurs must leave the country until January 1, 2014. The newly elected president Robert Mugabe issued an order to push them out of the country. Such a resolution is considered as a focal point of the new economic reform that 89 year-old Mugabe has been bringing to life. The new program of the country development suggests that the president is going to empower the native population to run business in certain economic sectors. Such business activities include wholesale and retail businesses, bakeries, farming, and transport services. Besides, barbershops, hairdressers’, beauty salons, employment and advertising agencies are also on the ‘veto list’ for foreigners. Robert Mugabe is sure that such a tough policy is going to facilitate rooting out the West's interference in the country. It is worthy of note that Zimbabwe is considered as one of the poorest countries in the world. The Zimbabwean economy is still in its embryo stage. Four years ago, the hyperinflation reached such a crucial level that the central bank had to withdraw the local currency, the Zimbabwean dollar, from circulation. Nowadays, the country is using the US dollar and British pound. Currently, lots of Nigerian, Chinese and other foreign commercial firms have been running business inside the country. However, it should be mentioned that President Mugabe permitted foreigners to own restaurants if they do not serve national dishes.
