Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe: Reserve Money Increase

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has announced that Reserve Money had increased by 240 million Zimbabwean dollars as of 28 May 2021.

The increase follows a sharp decline in reserve money during the week that ended 7 May. The decline was attributed to a decrease in banks’ liquidity.

Pindula News present below the central bank’s latest report of reserve money.

RESERVE MONEY

1. Reserve money increased by ZW$239.55 million to ZW$23.38 billion, as of the week ending 28th May 2021, from ZW$23.14 million in the previous week.

2. The rise in reserve money largely reflected increases of ZW$242.73 million in required reserves andZW$51.69 million in the currency issued. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of ZW$54.87 million in banks liquidity (RGTS balances) at the central bank.

3. Maturing OMO savings bonds injected ZW$532.75 million into the market, thus contributing to the increase in liquidity during the week under review.
