He said:<\/p>\n<p>These trends seen in isolation are quite good. Indeed, nobody enjoys seeing inflation galloping and exchange rates going haywire. It is indeed a very welcome development.<\/p>\n<p>Matsheza, however, lamented the shortages of the Zimbabwe dollar in the economy saying this has resulted in depressed demand for goods. He said:<\/p>\n<p>So the downward side which must also be considered are the critical shortages of the Zim$ in the market.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen local currency sales going down for reasons we believe to be prompted by the rush to purchase gold coins and the move by the government to stop payments to its suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former Finance Minister Tendai Biti has challenged the government to find a lasting solution to current economic challenges instead resorting to what he considers unsustainable short-term measures.<\/p>\n<p>He said the \u201cstability\u201d will soon be a thing of the past as the government will need to pay civil servants and fund command agriculture and election promises which will result in an increased broad money supply and trigger exchange rate volatility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
