AB  - This study, reviews futures contracts on a contract design 
  approach basis. Drawing from the literature and using indicative empirics, it 
  assesses the futures contract specifications that would enable success once 
  the recently re-launched commodity exchange of Zimbabwe (Comez) begins trading. 
  The study highlights a primary point that while the commodity characteristics 
  may be suitable, coupled with a very strong and supportive economic and policy 
  environment, failure to design appropriate futures contracts may result in poor 
  participation by market participants, thereby rendering the exchange untenable.
