Meanwhile, Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube said the ban on bank lending is aimed at combating indiscipline in the financial services sector driving inflation and weakening the local currency. He said: > Indiscipline is something that we need to deal with and we will make sure that we enforce the measures that we have put in place to deal with this indiscipline. > These are temporary measures, what we are trying to do is to prick the speculative bubble, which has emerged in the forex market as well as in the equities market. > As I said, it (the ban on bank lending) is temporary and we will get to a point where we can loosen up and open up. *More: Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
