The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange says the country’s stock market index has risen by almost 15% in recent days. The economy has been in crisis since President Robert Mugabe adopted a land redistribution program two years ago, driving out some foreign investors. But the head of the stock exchange says the market is defying Zimbabwe's wider political and economic chaos and is moving towards growth.
