At the Zimbabwe Economic Development Conference (ZEDCON) 2026, IPEC Commissioner, Dr Grace Muradzikwa, underscored the critical role of the insurance and pensions industry in supporting Zimbabwe’s development agenda while safeguarding the interests of policyholders and pension scheme members.

Dr Muradzikwa emphasised that IPEC’s desire is to see insurance companies and pension funds investing in bankable, fairly priced projects that generate sustainable returns. She stressed that while investments by the industry can contribute to national development, they must ultimately deliver value to the policyholders and pension scheme members whose savings are being invested.

“Prescribed status marks national priority, not cheap money. Projects must pay a real return,” said Dr Muradzikwa.

The Commissioner noted that the insurance and pensions industry had total assets of approximately US$4.9 billion as at 30 June 2026, highlighting its potential to contribute meaningfully to economic development. However, she cautioned that these assets are not necessarily readily available cash for new projects, reinforcing the need for quality, bankable investment opportunities.

She called on project promoters and Government to bring forward bankable projects, while encouraging the industry to channel available investible income towards quality projects that balance national development objectives with appropriate returns for consumers.

As a pension fund member, take an active interest in your retirement savings.

Know:
✅Your pension fund
✅Your contribution rate
✅Your accumulated benefits
✅Whether contributions are up to date

Pension awareness starts with knowing what is happening with your own retirement savings.
Read your benefit statements and communications from your fund, and seek clarification where something is unclear.
An informed pension fund member is better positioned to identify problems early and take action.
