According to the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, industry capacity utilisation is reported to have improved at 47% as at year end, compared to 36.4% in 2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>GetBucks chief executive George Nheweyembwa in a trading update for the five months up to May 31 2020 said the local currency\u2019s stability had been maintained since the inception of the RBZ foreign currency auction.<\/p>\n<p>He hailed the conservative monetary framework being pursued by the central bank as a positive step.<\/p>\n<p>National Tyre Services chairperson, Rutenhero Moyo also hailed the auction platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeasures taken by the RBZ on 23 June 2020, which included introduction of a foreign currency auction system, were critical in stabilising the economy from the ravages of inflation and high foreign exchange rates during the second half of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
