Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) has reaffirmed its sentiments regarding what it called \u201cthe deteriorating currency situation\u201d following condemnation by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).<\/p>\n

On Friday, 22 April, CZI released its position paper where it urged the RBZ to suspend the foreign currency auction system and fully liberalise the foreign exchange market after the Zimdollar fell to $350 against the US dollar on the parallel market.<\/p>\n

In his response to the CZI position paper on Saturday, 23 April, RBZ Governor John Mangudya said CZI was misinformed and the paper should be disregarded.<\/p>\n

Mangudya insisted that the foreign currency auction system will remain in place because suspending it would cause shortages of goods on the market and abet inflation.<\/p>\n

However, on Sunday, 24 April, CZI president Kurai Matsheza said there is a need to find common ground, otherwise, if the status quo is maintained, some companies could collapse. Said Matsheza:<\/p>\n

I think the route of discussion and engagement should be open and we all are really positive that these engagements will take us forward.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think the authorities will not listen to us. They may have a position, but I am sure that position can be debated and common ground can be found.<\/p>\n

I am sure they will listen to what we have highlighted in that paper and they will engage.<\/p>\n

We are not saying that they can adopt 100% of the recommendations, some of them can be picked, but I am sure that common ground can be found.<\/p>\n

I am sure some will have difficulty continuing operating, it is going to be difficult.<\/p>\n

But, look, the situation has been difficult for the Zimbabwean operating environment and I am sure some may actually find it difficult to continue.<\/p>\n

Here are the CZI\u2019s recommendations outlined in its position paper released on Friday that seemingly angered Mangudya:<\/p>\n
