Said Guvamatanga: > There is US$1.7 billion that should be available in this economy to pay for the pharmaceuticals, to pay for the fuel and all the requirements we need as an economy. > The issue is how do we enhance the interbank market so that those export proceeds can be liquidated on the interbank market. Guvamatanga claimed that the government has no intention to grab exporters money. However, there is a general reluctance to trade foreign currency on the interbank market by exporters as there is a perception that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is controlling the exchange rate. Traders are also fearful that once they dispose of their earnings onto the market, it would be difficult for them to access the same when they want to pay for imports. *More: ZimLive* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
