Zimbabwe Seeks Membership in BRICS
New Development Bank
Zimbabwe has set its sights on joining
the New Development Bank (NDB), an institution established by the BRICS
economic bloc. Persistence Gwanyanya, a prominent economist and member of the
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s monetary policy committee, confirmed the country’s
application in a recent interview with The Herald.
“We have applied to join the New BRICS
Development Bank,” Gwanyanya said. He expressed optimism about Zimbabwe’s
application, citing support from BRICS members Brazil, Russia, and South
Africa.
Gwanyanya clarified that Zimbabwe’s
pursuit of NDB membership does not preclude its aspirations to join the BRICS
alliance itself. “Zimbabwe, like many African nations, is committed to
achieving sustainable economic growth and transformation through continental
integration,” he explained. “We value our collaboration with BRICS partners in
fulfilling our market integration goals.”
Zimbabwe’s interest in the NDB comes
after the country expressed its desire to join BRICS last year. The BRICS
alliance itself recently expanded, welcoming Ethiopia, the United Arab
Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Egypt as new members on January 1, 2024.
