Zimbabwe's central bank governor, John Mushayavanhu, has reassured the public that the country has sufficient dollars to meet demand, dismissing concerns about a currency crisis.
"Yesterday we went into the market as a central bank to sell forex; we went in with about $20 million. The banks were only able to buy $15 million. In other words, that was the demand that was there in the market," Zimbabwe's central bank governor, John Mushayavanhu, told the state broadcaster ZTN.
Mushayavanhu also assured businesses and citizens that foreign exchange needs would be honored.
"If there is anyone who has an import invoice or foreign payment that they need to make outside the country and has not made it, they can go to the bank and it will be honored. We don’t have a foreign exchange problem," he noted.
