RBZ: Banks Directed To Surrender Excess Liquidity

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has directed banks to surrender their excess liquidity in return for Non-Negotiable Certificates of Deposit yielding zero (0) percent with effect from 4 June.

As a result of the development, players in the financial sector have sounded the alarm likening it to the expropriation of liquidity.

In the past, the central bank has dabbled in quasi-fiscal activities, with devastating consequences for economic stability.

With the 2023 general election drawing closer, the government will need massive funding.

This comes after the central bank a fortnight ago recorded a sharp decline in reserve money only to recover a fraction last week.

Responding to a post by The NewsHawks on Friday, Charamba said:

_You miss the glaring irony in this protest by banks??? What interest have they been giving depositors???? You canā€™t see that????_

Commenting on the same matter, one ā€œeating away depositorsā€™ money purporting to be charging ā€˜bank charges.'ā€
