This is a solution for Zimbabwe. > Zimbabwe owes Chinese companies monies for projects that Chinese investors have undertaken here. There are certain remittances and payments we should have made because we borrowed through various institutions in China. So the arrangement is simply designed to solve that. Economic analysts have however expressed scepticism over the benefits of the deal, arguing that because of the unfavourable trade balance, the deal would mean China will now spend less foreign exchange in Zimbabwe and use the local currency for transactions. According to ZTN, a currency swap involves the exchange of money in one currency for the same in another currency, and companies doing business abroad often use it to get more favourable loan rates. *More: ZTN* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
