There is currently no minimum wage in Zimbabwe as they vary across sectors. The minimum wage is set per industry and job type and ranges from 295 USD - 543 USD per month.

The commercial sector has recently updated its minimum wage to 3540 USD - 6516 USD per year.

Its strategic location in southern Africa provides businesses with opportunities to tap into regional markets, with Zimbabwe itself home to a well-educated and skilled workforce.

In recent years, the country has undergone numerous economic reforms and, as part of this effort, the government has introduced several investment-friendly initiatives aimed at streamlining bureaucratic processes and promoting foreign investment. As a result, Zimbabwe is an ideal location for organisations looking to expand and hire in the region.
