zimeye 13-DEC-11

[-said]: The necessary amendments to the Exchange Control Act allowing for use of multiple currencies as legal tender will be effected.

zimeye 13-DEC-11

[-said]: Farmers also have to play their part, demonstrating preparedness for upcoming agricultural seasons. In this regard, the projected growth in agricultural production of 11,6 percent in 2012 takes account of the number of financing facilities established by government, the banking sector, co-operating partners, seed and fertiliser suppliers in support of the preparation for the 2011/2012 agricultural season,

financialgazette 12-DEC-11

[-said]: This will be complemented by additional resources by the banking system. In previous bud-gets, government has focused more on supporting production of food crops such as maize and wheat, with little attention to livestock,

financialgazette 12-DEC-11

[-said]: Government was engaging the banking sector with a view to ensuring that the special features of the agro bills cascade to farmers to the extent that credit to farmers will be at affordable interest rates of around 10%,

[acknowledges:]: Challenges to be overcome (by the manufacturing sector) include mobilisation of additional lines of credit for industrial re-tooling and other working capital requirements.

financialgazette 07-DEC-11

[ said]: The high rate of consumption of imports against a sluggish growth of exports remains a challenge to the management of the current account and is not favourable for the recovery of the economy,

financialgazette 07-DEC-11

[ said]: Peace and stability or social cohesion is clearly the first pre-condition of the effective State. War, violence and conflict are an anathema to development,

financialgazette 07-DEC-11

[said:]: It is morally wrong for ZANU-PF to use its unlawful majority to push these bills through. The repressive legislation shows a marked difference of approach toward more fascism.

insiderzim 05-DEC-11

[-pointed out]: Projections to year end, however show annual average inflation remaining within the targeted range of 3,5% to 4,5%,

theindependent 02-DEC-11

[ said]: The major drivers of inflation this year have been housing and rental cost, alcohol and food. Our domestic price developments also reflect the economic integration pattern between our economy and that of South Africa, a major source of our imports; hence some of the price movements in South Africa are reproduced asymmetrically in Zimbabwe,

theindependent 02-DEC-11

[-said]: Treasury, therefore, carefully analyses monthly inflation developments, scrutinising all price-related data and the causes thereof of any marginal shifts in inflation points,

theindependent 02-DEC-11

[-said]: We should applaud the meeting of our political leaders, their main organs, that is the Central Committee of Zanu PF, and the National Councils of the two MDC formations. Mr Speaker Sir, I have no doubt, the nation hopes and trusts that the ten principles of their Harare Declaration will be implemented,

zimbabwereporter 29-NOV-11

[-said]: Once again the sense of alienation and despondency remains high. There is a clear anti-Harare sentiment out there. The feeling is that everything happens in Harare and that to be a true and participating citizen of Zimbabwe one must be domiciled in Harare. Everything is in Harare and Harare is everything,

[-said this would]: Recurrent expenditures continue to be skewed towards employment costs, which were originally budgeted at $1,4billion, but are now projected at around $1,8billion or 63%of the total budget, following the salary and wage review for civil servants effected in July 2011.

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[-said]: The projected growth in agricultural production of 11,6% in 2012 takes account of the number of financing facilities established by government, the banking sector, co-operating partners, seed and fertiliser suppliers, in support of the preparation for the 2011/2012 agricultural season,

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[-said]: The current fiscal challenges and the wage pressures have made this economy overly reliant on fresh diamond revenues. In this regard, it is important that there is a proper legitimate legal framework dealing with diamond revenue,

financialgazette 28-NOV-11

[-further explained that]: These projections have to be premised on the fact that commodity prices are going to remain high but we might see lower average commodity prices next year.

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[ said]: However, the performance of our real sectors is not yet optimal, given financing and power supply challenges that the productive sectors continue to experience,

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[-said]: The implication of this unsustainable equation is that government is spending 63% of its budgetary resources on 1,78% of thepopulation, while the remaining 98,22% have to share thebalance of 37%.

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[-said]: Coming up with this budget was a daunting task given the political environment, economic performance and the global economy,

theindependent 28-NOV-11

newsday 28-NOV-11

[ said]: In 2012, mining is anticipated to remain the major driving force behind overall economic growth, benefiting from further private capital injections, firm international commodity prices and anticipated initiatives to minimise electricity supply interruptions,

allafrica 28-NOV-11

[-said]: The clothing industry provides an opportunity to grow the economy through the resuscitation of the value chain in the production of clothing, since it is a labour- intensive business requiring relatively little capital,

theindependent 28-NOV-11

[-said]: Consequently, the employment cost outturn to end of September,at$1,21 billion, exceeded the target by around $193million.The above situation where employment costs account for 63%of total expenditure and net lending, against a budgeted ratioof 53%, is unsustainable,

theindependent 28-NOV-11

allafrica 26-NOV-11

[ said]: The issue is about commitment that the principals themselves have agreed on. They have to agree on a roadmap first to those elections,

zimeye 26-NOV-11

[-said]: I, therefore, appeal to the principals of government to rein-in on this issue, for without their support no success can be yielded. This would empower Treasury in 2012 to take corrective measures that will ensure that line ministries do not spend on travel beyond specified amounts allocated in their Votes.

zimeye 26-NOV-11

[-said]: Between January to September 2011, an unacceptable sum of US$45.5 million, representing 1.2percent of the total Budget had been spent on travelling,

zimbabwereporter 26-NOV-11

[ said]: It’s not about resources, whether I have budgeted for them or not. It’s about commitments that the principals themselves have agreed on. We will have to find the resources, but this time we will not raid your FCA accounts,

newsday 25-NOV-11
