2. The decline in reserve money largely reflected decreases of ZW$2.77 billion and ZW$32.40 million in banks’ liquidity (RTGS balances) at the Central Bank and currency issued, respectively. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase of ZW$453.29 million in required reserves.
3. Liquidity mopping up operations by the Bank through the issuance of non-negotiable certificates of deposits (NNCDs) resulted in the fall in market liquidity.
