Zimbabwe's business climate

Available for over a year

Are politics holding back Zimbabwe's businesses from reaching their full potential? Lesley Curwen talks to Patrick Devenish, the Group Chief Executive of the agricultural company, AICO which is based in Zimbabwe. He says it is still hard for companies to get credit, as multilateral organisations will not lend to Zimbabwe. Plus, Glenn Hickok, Vice President at Cross Match Technologies, describes the biometric identification tool his company makes for customers including the US military. He is tight-lipped about reports that his product was used to identify Osama bin Laden's body. And our Washington commentator, Steve Fritzinger takes apart the motivational speaker's favourite sporting analogy, the story of the four minute mile.
