Amidst the runaway inflation rate on the bond note versus the US$, Government is working flat out to ensure that Zimbabweans retain their money’s values.

The incoming cabinet has a task to engage the economy and redirect it to reduce inflation and price hikes owing to speculation due to the anticipated shortage of the US$, an economic analyst Gift Mushoriwa has said.

“The appointment of Professor Mthuli Ncube as Minister of Finance and Economic Development has united Government and the private sector since the latter; a non political player should link Government with the public expectations. The incoming cabinet will soon engage the economic issues to fulfil the President’s requirements for the country’s economic turnaround,” said the analyst.  

All hopes are on tomorrow’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) were the President is expected to state the way forward for the  nation during the official opening of the ninth Parliament, Harare Post has learnt.
