Zimbabwean banks are struggling to meet exporters’ foreign currency demands for importing raw materials due to severe liquidity constraints.
In an interview with <a href="https://newsday.co.zw/theindependent/business-digest/article/200031626/banks-struggle-to-fund-imports">The Independent</a>, Fanwell Mutogo, CEO of the Bankers Association of Zimbabwe, said that the ongoing foreign currency shortages have hindered banks’ ability to support both exporters and importers effectively. He said:
<blockquote>
The insufficient foreign exchange has had an impact on the importers and exporters, hence hindering the banks to meet the needs and demands of both exporters and importers.
</blockquote>
Mutogo said the situation might improve if the recently introduced Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency gains value. He said:
<blockquote>
As the market accepts ZiG and uses it more for domestic transactions, banks are most likely to receive more voluntary foreign currency sales.
</blockquote>
Economist Prosper Chitambara said that building Zimbabwe’s foreign currency reserves is essential. He said:
<blockquote>
We look at several countries. South Africa has about US$62 billion in terms of reserves, Zambia has about US$4 billion, and Botswana, has about US$5 billion. So, Zimbabwe with about US$400 million, is probably not adequate.
So, I think we need to build our reserves, and we can always use those reserves again to liquidate in the interbank market.
</blockquote>
On Friday, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor John Mushayavanhu announced that reserves backing the structured currency, primarily gold, had risen significantly to US$375 million in June, up from US$285 million.
In his 2024 Mid-Term Monetary Policy Statement, Mushayavanhu said the central bank is implementing a strategy to build foreign reserves until they meet international standards. He said:
<blockquote>
Given the importance of foreign currency reserves in sustaining the ZiG, the Reserve Bank has a reserves accumulation strategy to ensure adequate foreign reserves are available.
The Reserve Bank will, therefore, remain resolute on its accumulation strategy until the country’s foreign reserves reach internationally acceptable levels.

Zimbabwean banks are having trouble giving exporters enough foreign money to buy materials they need. The lack of foreign money is causing problems for both importers and exporters. To fix this, a new currency called ZiG might help by gaining value. An economist says Zimbabwe needs to build more foreign reserves to be stable. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is working on a plan to increase foreign reserves until they are at the right level. This will help the country's economy.

Zimbabwean Banks Struggling To Meet Exporters’ Foreign Currency Needs

Managing director of Western Union Money Transfer Manager Mr Tendai Bindura explained the source of shortages for United States dollars.
Western Union has been unable to disburse foreign currency with some agents closing due to forex shortages. Bindura said most banks in Zimbabwe are facing challenges of importing hard cash, thereby delaying remittances services, which depend on availability of foreign currency. In an interview with The Herald’s sister paper Business Weekly recently, Mr Bindura said problems started when a South African bank, used by local money transfer agencies, changed its correspondent banking partner to Deustche bank of Germany. Said Bindura:
<blockquote>So we knew clearly what it meant because Deustche Bank had already ditched Zimbabwean banks and they do not have an appetite for money transfer agencies. So if you check with many money transfer agencies, their accounts where closed, so the bank (name withheld) will ultimately close the money transfer accounts to secure their relationship, this process is what they call de-risking which started about 2-3 years back. In fact, the banks told us that we cannot have your accounts anymore.</blockquote>
Bindura said Western Union has applied to the RBZ to import money on its own and directly from South Africa.

Western Union Explains US Dollar Shortage

The Mail and Telegraph reports that Government spent close to $8 million United States Dollars on the purchase of weapons.
This follows reports Zimbabwe was running out of various weapons including tear gas, rubber bullets, helmets, among many other items. A source who spoke to Mail and Telegraph said the weapons were purchased last week with funds released in two batches by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. The source said:
<blockquote>The first transaction of US$5,9 million was released last week Monday at the time Zimbabwe experienced a violent mass action as citizens and activists protested over rising cost of living. On Monday this week a balance of US$2 million was paid and the consignment is expected in the country in the next few weeks. The government is boosting its artillery and increase their state of preparedness in case of any unrest as the masses are becoming militant by the day. They want to maintain peace and tranquility in the country.</blockquote>
The weapons were reportedly bought from an arms company in Israel. Mail and Telegraph could not get a comment from RBZ governor John Mangudya on Wednesday as his mobile phone was switched off.

Govt Buys Weapons Worth 8 Million US Dollars- Report

Senior government officials told the Zimbabwe Independent this week that government footed former President Robert Mugabe’s medical expenses which amounted to US$4 million towards the end of 2018.
The sources told the publication the money was paid through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), which maintains it does not have adequate foreign currency to fund critical sectors of the economy.  The sources said Mugabe was first paid US$1 million upon his departure for Singapore in October but later contacted government from the South-East Asian nation complaining that the money was inadequate and requesting a further US$3 million in November. The requested balance was paid promptly, according to the sources. The transactions were authorised by RBZ governor John Mangudya. A senior government official said:
<blockquote>The governor sent a memo to the Finance ministry perm sec George Guvamatanga stating that there was a request by former “president Robert Mugabe for an additional US$3 million, while he was in Singapore. This was after Mugabe initially received US$1 million from government for his medical bills, which he then said was not enough.</blockquote>
When contacted by the publication, Mangudya declined to comment on the matter. Information ministry permanent secretary Nick Mangwana said he was not aware of any payment to Mugabe.

Govt Paid Former President Robert Mugabe's $4 Million Medical Bill In US Dollars

Energy and Power Development Minister Joram Gumbo has issued contradictory statements regarding the sell of fuel in foreign currency.
In an interview in December last year, Gumbo told The Chronicle that it is not Government policy for some dealers to sell fuel in foreign currency. Speaking by telephone from Harare last Friday, Gumbo said:
<blockquote>It’s not Government policy that fuel dealers should sell their fuel in foreign currency. So far there hasn’t been any pronouncement by the Government that there is now a change of that policy. At the moment, some are selling fuel in forex but at what rate?</blockquote>
However in his latest interview with The Chronicle, Gumbo said only the Reserve Bank and Ministry of Finance were able to comment and act on the matter. Said Gumbo:
<blockquote>The RBZ controls money and they are best to comment on fuel being sold in US dollars. We are only responsible for the pricing of fuel. We can peg prices of fuel, but cannot say whether it’s sold in forex or bond.</blockquote>

In an interview with The Herald, Cross-Border Traders’ Association president Killer Zivhu appealed to Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr John Mangudya to avail South African rands to its members to enable them to import goods.
He said if they obtaining foreign currency on the parallel market it will resulted in high prices. Said Zivhu:
<blockquote>Obtaining foreign currency on the parallel market has led to the creation of a vicious circle of high prices for the basic goods. An intervention by the authorities will ensure that the basic goods are available at affordable prices.</blockquote>

Zanu-PF Secretary for Youths, Pupurai Togarepi accused foreign-owned businesses of fuelling the black market and externalising foreign currency.
He said Zanu-PF youths are going to confront foreign owned businesses and added that those without bank accounts will be chased back to their countries. Said Togarepi:
<blockquote>
There are foreigners doing business in the downtown area who are not banking money to local banks. We are going to demand that they bank their money because they are milking all our foreign currency and are putting it on the black market. We suspect that several of them are taking the money to several countries. These people are not accepting Ecocash transfers neither are they accepting our bond notes. They are demanding payments in US Dollars and they are not doing business in a transparent and professional way. They are the same people involved in money laundering because they don’t even have bank accounts.
</blockquote>
He also warned people who own commuter omnibuses written ‘GOD GIVEN’ that they risk losing their licenses should they continue not banking their money.

Zanu-PF Youths Threaten Foreign Owned Businesses

Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) listed miner, RioZim Limited, told the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) that it has suspended production at three of its gold mines due to foreign currency shortages.
In a letter signed by board chairman Lovemore Chihota, RioZim said it had stopped operations at Cam and Motor in Kadoma, Renco Mine in Masvingo and Dalny Mine in Chegutu.  Chihota said RioZim had received only 14 percent of its gold delivery proceeds in the last 30 months instead of the RBZ directive of 50 percent direct access to its nostro (forex) funds and 50 percent by application.
RioZim had previously threatened to sue the RBZ over foreign currency allocations. Another gold mine, Metallon Gold, recently closed one of its major gold mines in Mazowe amid foreign currency constraints and mounting debts.

RioZim Closes 3 Gold Mines Due To Forex Shortage

Lafarge Zimbabwe has blamed a backlog of foreign currency exchange as the cause of a shortage of cement. The commercial director of Lafarge Zimbabwe, Edith Matekaire said that the local cement sector has more than enough production capacity to meet customers’ needs. Matekarai also stated that demand is 1.3Mt/yr and cement production is 2.4Mt/yr. Demand is only expected to exceed production from 2020 onwards. 
Matekarai’s sentiments dovetail with some media reports which have it that a US$2m backlog has caused plant maintenance shutdowns to take longer than they normally would. Inadequate funding has also been highlighted as the major factor forcing plant shutdowns to take place during periods of high production, causing shortages in the process and affecting the market.

Lafarge Zimbabwe Blames Backlog Of Foreign Currency Exchange For Causing Shortage Of Cement

Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa avoided a question from Norton legislator Temba Mliswa on where first lady Grace Mugabe and her son Russel Goreraza got foreign currency to buy houses and import two Rolls Royce vehicles respectively.
Chinamasa said he cannot comment on Mliswa’s question stating that he was not aware of the allegations. He told him to ask Grace and Russel where they got the foreign currency. Below is an excerpt of the National Hansard:
<blockquote>HON. MLISWA:  My question is directed to the Minister of Finance and Economic Development.  There is a shortage of foreign currency and any foreign currency which is to leave the country has got to be prioritised.  I would like to know whether the money that was used by the First Lady to buy a house in South Africa and equally the money used by Russel Goreraza to buy cars outside the country was priority and did it also have foreign exchange approval?
THE MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (HON. CHINAMASA):  Madam Speaker, I cannot comment on allegations which I am not aware of.  These are transactions outside Government.  Yes, they are transactions, if they happened at all and I cannot comment.  You need to ask those you allege have done so.
HON. MLISWA:  I think we need to be consistent.  We cannot have Ministers ducking and diving.  This is very clear.  Most of the questions asked in this House come through various forms.  The first family has not denied that they bought a house.  There has been no official statement from the first family saying that.  It is very clear that unless, Minister, you are able to tell us that you will look into it and you will come back to us and answer the question– [HON. MEMBERS:  Inaudible interjections.]- is it an offshore account or is it not an offshore account.  The house was confiscated by the African Forum People.  The evidence is there.  Minister, I can furnish you if you want, with more information that it is not more than one house which has been bought by the first family.  They have equally a house in South Africa.  Is the money offshore or is the money coming from here because we have a foreign currency crisis in the country – [HON. MEMBERS:  Inaudible interjections.] – He must respond. The Minister cannot duck and dive to protect corruption.  This House must uphold the Constitution and must hold everybody accountable; the First Lady has been extravagant.  The US$1.4 million which was used to buy a ring, it was also out of foreign currency in this country. We have been too quiet. He must answer …– [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –
          THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Order! There is a point of order.
          *HON. MAHOKA: On a point of order. The Hon. Member is naming somebody who is not a Member of this House.  Someone who is not a Member of this House should not be named because they cannot come to answer to those allegations and should not be included in our debates. – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –</blockquote>

Chinamasa avoids question on where Grace Mugabe & son got foreign currency to buy properties

Speaking at the sidelines of a visit by the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Lands, Agriculture, Mechanisation andIrrigation, Irvines Zimbabwe, chief executive Mr David Irvine said that the capital projects planned by his company this year are under threat due to the prevailing foreign currency shortages.
Said Irvine:
<blockquote>We are doing some capital projects on our layer operations and that is dependent on us getting foreign currency. Again what we are trying to do is reduce the cost of eggs. If we can get the cost of eggs down, that means everyone will be able to afford eggs. All these capital projects are earmarked for this year but our worry remains that of getting enough foreign exchange.</blockquote>
Apart from foreign currency he also said that their other major concern was the delay in getting permits and the cost of getting them.
