The Round Table on Stabilisation, Reconstruction and Development in Zimbabwe, organised by the Brooks World Poverty Institute of the University of Manchester was held on 11 December 2009 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Professor David Hulme gave welcome remarks and commended the rapid macro-economic stabilisation realised in 2009 especially the U-turn in inflation.

Hon. Minister T. Biti gave opening remarks at the Round Table stressing that the Zimbabwean economy is still in a fragile state due to the lost decade of successive economic downturn. In this regard sustainable growth and reconstruction would need efforts from both domestic and international partners.
