RBZ Pours US$50 Million Into Interbank Forex Market In October - Mushayavanhu

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has said the increase in demand for US dollars is rising ahead of the farming season, coinciding with a slowdown in forex inflows due to the end of the tobacco selling season.

Below is a statement issued on October 25 by RBZ Governor John Mushayavanhu:

During the past three weeks of October 2024, the Reserve Bank has injected about US$32 million into the interbank foreign exchange market to smoothen the mismatches between supply and demand.

Traditionally, the last quarter of the year witnesses increased demand for foreign exchange to meet critical requirements for the summer agricultural season and for preparations for the start of the festive period.

In line with the recent monetary policy measures issued by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on 27 September 2024, we have witnessed a satisfactory increase in the willing-buyer-willing-seller (WBWS) foreign exchange trading activities.

Holders of foreign exchange, including exporters, have been selling their foreign currency in exchange for ZiG to fund their tax obligations and other payments denominated in local currency.

However, with the end of the tobacco selling season, we have noticed a slowdown in the supply of foreign exchange to the WBWS interbank market and an increase in pipeline demand.

Over the past three weeks, foreign currency pipeline demand has averaged US$15 million, and the Reserve Bank has been intervening in a timely manner to address the supply/demand mismatches.

The pipeline demand for this week has risen to US$25 million due to increased pressures to fund the 2024/2025 agricultural season requirements.

Consequently, on 24 October 2024, the Reserve Bank offered a market-clearing foreign currency sale of $25 million, and the market could only take up about US$19 million because prospective buyers of foreign currency did not have enough ZiG liquidity to purchase available foreign currency.

The recent market intervention has brought the cumulative participation of the Reserve Bank in the WBWS market to US$50 million in October 2024 alone.

The Reserve Bank will continue with its tight monetary policy stance and ensure that reserve money is fully backed at all times.

In here we need the opening of the industry, water electrical power, freedom, not zig. To stand up and utter zig stories is like to kill this country further, to destroy the building of closed hotel, hospital, school, csc monomotapa plazza, dulys, nyore nyore, badella wholesale, topics, standard, backlays founders, Mitchell bakery, just a few out of 900 entities. Who is zig,,,, Zimbabwe in gone,,,,,,,,, why is American green in use yet we are in Africa??? Lack of human brain yet you think you are in power,,,,,, Americans are over this country........
