The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has requested an urgent meeting with Central Bank Governor John Mushayavanhu to discuss the impact of the Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) on workers.
Mushayavanhu presented the MPS on Friday last week and the introduction of a “structured currency”, known as Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) was the major highlight of the presentation.
ZiG is backed by a composite basket of foreign currency and precious metals (mainly gold) held by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).
According to a letter seen by <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/trade-unions-request-urgent-meeting-with-rbz-governor-over-new-zig-currency-confusion/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> dated April 8, 2024, signed by the ZCTU secretary general, Japhet Moyo and addressed to Mushayavanhu, price hikes have eroded the majority of workers’ earnings who are now failing to make ends meet. Part of the letter reads:
<blockquote>
The working people of Zimbabwe have already suffered immensely as wages have failed to keep pace with price hikes.
The situation has worsened rendering it practically impossible for workers across all sectors to earn the current salaries and sustain their families or be able to go to work.
In this vein, the ZCTU is requesting an urgent audience whose agenda would be to discuss and understand the Monetary Policy and its implications on workers.
</blockquote>
According to the RBZ, on Tuesday, 09 April, the ZiG strengthened by 0.2% to 13.53 per US dollar, up from 13.56 per dollar the previous day.

ZCTU Request Urgent Meeting With RBZ Governor Over Monetary Policy Statement

Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has been urged to promptly present fiscal measures that complement the monetary policy announced by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor John Mushayavanhu last week.
The 2024 Monetary Policy Statement outlines key strategies and measures aimed at achieving currency stability. These include the introduction of a structured currency called ZiG, backed by reserves and royalties.
Economist Gift Mugano suggests that Minister Ncube should not delay presenting his mid-term budget review in July or exclusively favour the use of USD over ZiG. He said:
<blockquote>
The Minister of Finance must address the following:
1. Directing all local payments by the GOZ to be in ZiG;
2. Directing all duties, taxes, levies and fees including government services such as passports, birth certificates, death certificates, etc to be in ZiG;
3. Directing fuel stations to accept both ZiG and USD – this must enforced in line with the spirit of the use of a multi-currency regime;
4. Recalibrating the financing model for the public infrastructure with a view to moving away from using cash to long-term finance e.g., diaspora bonds;
5. Setting aside a budget for the liquidation of the 25% export retention surrender requirement view a view to stop the RBZ from printing money;
6. Present a new budget statement in ZiG – this budget must include a supplementary budget with a view to accommodate the exchange movements as the current has been eroded by exchange rate upheavals. This submission is grounded on the fact that the fact that the exchange rate shot from ZWL$6,000/US$1 when the 2024 budget was presented to ZWL$33,882.72 as of 5 April 2024.
7. Downward review of taxes and elimination of some tax heads such as the sugar tax – the current tax regime is causing inflation in USD which means that inflation in ZiG will be massive.
</blockquote>
The annual inflation rate in Zimbabwe has recently risen, reaching an over-one-year high of 55.3% in March 2024. This increase follows a rate of 47.6% in February.
The depreciation of the now-discarded Zimbabwe dollar played a role in this surge. Since the beginning of the year, the Zimbabwe dollar experienced a decline of more than 70% against the US dollar before being replaced by ZiG last week.
The introduction of ZiG marks Zimbabwe’s sixth attempt at creating a new currency since 2008.

Mthuli Ncube Urged To Present Fiscal Measures To Complement Monetary Policy

Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister, Mthuli Ncube, has said Zimbabwe will always have a local currency even though currently, the US dollar is used for 80% of all commerce in the country.
Speaking <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/zimbabwe-to-keep-local-dollar-despite-losses-revamp-plans-ncube-says/">in an interview</a> Saturday after touring Arenel Foods and Baker’s Inn, in Bulawayo, Ncube also said that fiscal and monetary authorities are working on new plans to revive the currency. He said:
<blockquote>
We will have a domestic currency, and there will always be a domestic currency so there is no way that we cannot have one.
It’s very important to have a domestic currency so that we don’t just rely on foreign currency only for transactions.
We can only have monetary policy as a macro-policy if you have your own domestic currency. We will have a domestic currency.
</blockquote>
On Friday, March 22, the Zimbabwean dollar crossed a notable threshold, falling below 20,000 against the US dollar. This decline occurred after it had previously dropped below the 10,000 level in late January.
The local currency was trading at 20,389 per greenback, indicating a cumulative decline of 70% since the beginning of the year.
Ncube said the monetary policy statement (MPS), which is overdue by two months, will be released soon.
He said the delay in the release of the MPS is due to ongoing consultations with experts within the government and other stakeholders. Said Ncube:
<blockquote>
We are working on some measures, people should be patient, we will release a monetary policy statement in the not-so-distant future which will deal with volatility and weakness in the currency.
Just be patient, we want to make sure that we do it right, undertaking some consultation with various stakeholders in the industry, within Government and international organisations, but also some currency experts that we have consulted.
We want to make sure that we have all the arsenal of knowledge that is needed to produce a lasting solution to the volatility and weakness of the currency.
</blockquote>
Last month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) urged authorities in Zimbabwe to fully liberalise its exchange rate, warning that the currency’s continuing depreciation could pose a risk to economic growth.

Zimbabwe To Keep Local Currency Despite Losses - Mthuli Ncube

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has cut its policy rate to 150 per cent from 200 per cent following a gradual decline in the rate of inflation since late last year.
Monthly inflation fell to 1.1 percent in January 2023 from 2.4 percent in December 2022, while yearly inflation fell to 229.8 percent from 243.8 percent.
In his 2023 Monetary Policy Statement issued on Thursday, 02 February, RBZ Governor John Mangudya said:
<blockquote>
The moderation in interest rates is important and necessitated by the downward trend in month-on-month inflation since the last quarter of 2022. The Bank will continue its tight monetary policy stance.
</blockquote>
Mangudya also increased export retentions to 75 percent across all sectors, including firms listed on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX).
He also announced the upward review of the export of foreign currency cash and gold coins from US$5 000 to US$10 000.
The maximum amount of local currency notes and coins that may be taken out of the country has been capped at an equivalent of US$1 000 at the prevailing interbank exchange rate.

RBZ Cuts Policy Rate To 150 Percent After Inflation Falls

Captains of industry and commerce have urged the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) to lower its bank policy interest rates downwards to between 80 and 100 per cent from 200 per cent.
They say this will enable businesses to have access to affordable financing.
Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) chief executive officer Christopher Mugaga said companies are now being forced to borrow in United States dollars due to high-interest rates, which he said threatens their viability. Said Mugaga:
<blockquote>
In the upcoming monetary policy statement, we expect interest rates to be reviewed downwards to margins between 80 and 100 percent this is because as private sector we understand that the rate of inflation is still a threat to the overall macro-economic stability, but having it come down to those levels will at least give us a breathing space.
Right now, most of the companies are borrowing in US dollars and it’s not sustainable at all.
</blockquote>
RBZ governor John Mangudya is expected to present this year’s monetary policy statement next month.
In its third quarter of 2022 business and economic intelligence report, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) said:
<blockquote>
… an interest rate of 200 percent compounded monthly effectively eliminated ZWL$ borrowing, as businesses could not afford such high borrowing costs.
While speculative borrowing was reduced (which also helped contain the growth of money supply), the policy virtually eliminated borrowing in local currency as a way of finance and reduced industry expansion prospects.
</blockquote>
Persistence Gwanyanya, a member of the RBZ Monetary Policy Committee said:
<blockquote>
Certainly, the forthcoming monetary policy will be presented before the end of next month but a date has not been set as yet.
One of the expectations from industry and commerce is the downward review of interest rates from the current levels.
In December, as the MPC we postponed the review of the interest rates on account that there should be sustained currency and inflation stability, if sustained stability is there by the time the monetary policy statement is presented, the interest rates will be reviewed downwards.
