During Wednesday’s question and answer session in Parliament, she warned that prices of goods and services are likely to keep on rising as long as the exchange rate issue remains unresolved.

We need to stabilise the economy and that is also impacting on the prices. The minister was responding to MDC Alliance MP, Tapiwa Mashakada who had asked what policy measures government had in place to stabilise prices of basic commodities and stimulate domestic production so as to contain inflation. Nzenza also highlighted her ministry was looking at import substitution and working closely with the agriculture ministry to try and increase the production of raw materials in the country.
