WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- Asked by senior Standard reporter Xolisani Ncube if he regretted the introduction of the bond note, Mangudya said: > No, not at all. The introduction of bond notes did not worsen foreign currency shortages. That’s a myth and fiction. > Bond notes were introduced to monetise the export incentive scheme, which greatly assisted the growth in exports over the past three years by an average of 25% per year. > Cushioning exporters by between 5% and 20% is meant to make exporters competitive and to increase foreign currency generation. > That policy cannot, therefore, cause shortages of foreign currency. In fact, the opposite is true. > The country needs to increase production and productivity across all the sectors of the economy in order to increase and conserve foreign currency. *Read Also:* *Zim Not Ready For Its Own Currency – RBZ Chief, Mangudya* *More: The Standard* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
