THE Financial Gazette, the country’s number one business publication, is hosting a key webinar today on the current state of the economy — including the Zim dollar, inflation and prices.
Among the online seminar’s eminent panellists are well-known economists Eddie Cross and Gift Mugano, as well as Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) monetary policy committee member, Persistence Gwanyanya.
The webinar is being held in the wake of the recent cocktail of policy interventions by authorities to stabilise both the Zimbabwe dollar and inflation.
Although the interventions have already made a significant difference, many observers say the jury is still out on whether the measures are sustainable — including the decision to effect a new blended inflation regime.
The head of events at Jester Media Services, Christine Nyirenda-Chimuka, said the webinar fitted well with the Pink Paper’s thrust of leading debates on the economy and being a clear voice for commerce, industry and the middle classes.
“Understanding the economy helps all stakeholders in the country to understand the world around them. “This webinar will contribute to enabling people to understand the markets, the government’s policy thrusts and where we are going as a nation.
“This way, we will all be better prepared to respond to the threats and opportunities that emerge when things change in the country,” Nyirenda-Chimuka said. The webinar will be flighted live on The Financial Gazette’s Facebook page at 10 o’clock this morning.
