Outcomes Of 26 June 2024 Monetary Policy Committee Meeting | Full Statement

Statement by Central Bank Governor John Mushayavanhu on the resolutions of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting held on 26 June 2024:

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe met on 26 June 2024 to assess the performance of the Monetary Policy Statement measures announced on the 5th of April 2024 and to deliberate on recent macroeconomic and financial developments in the economy.
The MPC expressed satisfaction with the positive impact of the Monetary Policy measures, which have stabilised the exchange rate and domestic prices.
Despite the effects of the El Nino induced drought, the economy has remained resilient and is expected to grow at around 2% in 2024.

The stabilisation measures implemented by the Bank since the beginning of April 2024 have resulted in a month-on-month ZiG inflation rate of minus 2.4% in May 2024.
The inflation rate is expected to be around 0% in June 2024 due to declines in both food and non-food inflation.

Inflation pressures will remain subdued in the outlook period with projected inflation to end the year below 5% as the exchange rate remains stable.
The MPC has resolved to maintain the current tight monetary policy stance to ensure the sustenance of the current stability. The Committee has, therefore, resolved to maintain the current policy measures as follows:

To maintain the current Bank Policy rate at 20% per annum and an interest rate corridor of 11% to 25%;

To maintain the statutory reserve requirements for demand deposits, and savings and time deposits in ZiG at 15% and 5%, respectively; and

To maintain the foreign currency statutory reserve requirements for demand deposits, and savings and time deposits at 20% and 5%, respectively.

Going forward, the MPC fully commits to proactively address any emerging risks on current stability. The MPC will ensure that growth in money supply remains consistent with the achievement of the envisaged pro-growth inflation levels of 5%.
The Reserve Bank will continue to ensure full backing of the reserve money with gold, other precious minerals, and foreign currency reserves.
This will ensure that growth in reserve money is consistent with improved economic activity and increased reserves backing the domestic currency.

The only family that has full employment is the Mnangagwa Dynasty. Not because they are clever or enterprising, but because vari kusveta simba redu. Thriving on misusing and abusing taxpayers money with their cronies - Chivharos, Nguwayas, and Chimombes.

Zimbabwe's recent economic stabilization, while a salutary development, obscures profound structural inefficiencies and governance challenges. The country's overdependence on primary commodity exports perpetuates vulnerability to exogenous shocks, while the precarious political economy and lack of institutional robustness hinder the implementation of efficacious diversification strategies. To transcend this developmental impasse, policymakers must effect a paradigmatic shift towards a knowledge-based economy, predicated on innovation, technological diffusion, and human capital development. This necessitates a concomitant strengthening of institutional capacity, governance frameworks, and regulatory environments to foster a conducive business climate, ensure macroeconomic stability, and promote inclusive growth and sustainable development.
