@BYOpedigree@sholard_mancity At 8 percent economic growth l will take that who says the economy is not growing ??whats your case for no industrialization the problem last time is we had no foreign currency inflows not rainfall think before you talk if we dont produce we can import it
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM Also, that argument of monetary growth is high makes it sounds like money is everywhere Zig itself started from a low monetary base so as a aggregate when you increase a lot of something small you dont get a lot zig out there 1 billion and gdp is 56 billion
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM things you mentioned are still there IMTT, backlog in payments etc export retention why is they no inflation now ?Bond notes had a backdoor criminal element was printing money to burn on the streets which was stopped these are things you dnt learn in class
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM No no your missing the point entirely l am saying the option not to use cash is because of arbitrage not that money supply is not growing , in any case that figure your citing looks high because the currency started from a very low base
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM On the street such that physical cash ended up having a different exchange rate to electronic money, its this leakages that have been targeted and stopped to prevent an unofficial growth of money supply
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM Your talking about monetarism and monetary policy your off the mark we are talking about restoring the fundamentals so central bank can control the growth of money which is vital in controlling inflation they were cartels that were hording cash and selling it
@PhillipKaphaizi@cemambo@ChickenInnZW@ReserveBankZIM ๐๐ obviously professor!! Zimbabwe is not a pefrect market physical cash has been leaking onto the streets for decades (black market) through dark unexplained channels its this illeagal unofficial unregulated uncontrollable money supply they are curtailin
