*Currency Reforms: Interbank Rates Distort Harare City Budget* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?el Harare City Council (HCC) has lamented over the impact of the ongoing currency reforms which it says have negatively affected its operations. The HCC’s clerk, Hosiah Chisango, revealed that the local authority had projected this year’s budget using a 1:1 ratio to the United States dollar. Addressing a Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Local Government, Chisango said that the currency reforms resulted in a US$36 million budget for water chemicals being depleted faster than had been expected. Chisango added: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Chisango revealed that US$2,8 million was needed for water treatment chemicals to produce about 550 to 600 million litres per day. He also projected a continuation of the ongoing water rationing up to 2020 due to siltation unless enough rains fall.
