Zimbabwe Investment Authority was a corporate body responsible for promoting and facilitating both foreign direct investment and local investment. The institution was born out of the merger of the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) and the Zimbabwe Investment Centre (ZIC) which was done to create a one stop Investment shop for quicker and easier facilitation of investment. The Zimbabwe Investment Authority's activities are guided by the Zimbabwe Investment Authority Act [Chapter 14:30]. In February 2020 it was replaced by the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA).
