> The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (the Bank) wishes to advise the public that the document titled “De-dollarisation Road Map” which has been circulating on social media was leaked by a senior Bank economist, Philton Makena, who had access to a document on the macro-economic policy measures to support the five-year de-dollarisation strategy which was being worked on by a team of economists in the Bank.

> The draft document is not official as it has not even been discussed at both Bank and Government levels. The document should, therefore, be disregarded.

> The draft document was being worked on by the team of economists on a computer allocated to a chief economist in the Bank, Paul Gilmour Mukoki. The Bank has since established that Mr Mukoki was not responsible for the leakage of the document.

> Mr Makena’s conduct amounted to breach of the oath of secrecy by which all Bank employees are bound.

> Accordingly, the Bank has suspended him, with immediate effect, and has commenced disciplinary proceedings against him.

> The Bank sincerely regrets the anxiety and inconvenience the leaked document may have caused.

> John P Mangudya 
Governor
