Zimbabwe's Three Year Macro-Economic Policy and Budget Framework

The Deputy Prime Minister, Honourable T. Khupe launched the Three Year Macro-Economic Policy and Budget Framework (STERP II) today, 23 December 2009.

The Three Year Macro-Economic Policy and Budget Framework is the successor to STERP, covering the period 2010 to 2012.

It is informed by the need to move the country's reforms beyond macro-economic stabilisation, embracing the challenges of graduating the economy towards a sustainable rapid growth and developmental path.

It is a structural and social transformative policy Framework aimed at ensuring that the socio-economic status of Zimbabweans, particularly those who are marginalised, reaches higher standards of living.

The Framework will anchor the 2010, 2011 and 2012 National Budgets and also lays a foundation for the Medium Term Plan, whose formulation will be based on a broader and more comprehensive stakeholder consulative process.
