Justify replacement of ZWL by ZiG within the here-for-good policy framework. If no justification comes to mind, please remain after class. [20 marks]

Simple:
1. Reconfigure 80 Samora Machel Avenue to be the foremost economic research centre in
2. Shrugg off the 3-decades entrenched view that it is a bank. It is not!
3. Ensure it operates such that we-the-people dont know nor care what it does!

Really?
Economics, like all sciences, demonstrates in persuasively authoritative ways that certain outcomes will emerge. Would be great if there is that pursuasive demonstration than mere praise singing. I haven't heard it thus far.

Exactly. ZWL did not fail bantu! Makes one wonder: Is this people, descendants of the gallant sons & daughters who ... , now so captured by Shadows van Failure such that mere expectation of van Failure becomes real failure? How can confidence be imbued in such?

Sycamore My point: ZWL did not fail. It has been replaced by ZiG, a transient version of like Bondnotes before. As for patriotism, my views on that are a public secret as they are on currency matters. We need not agree. businessweekly.co.zw/an-economists-…

3. conceding on what could be called 'short-term inadequacies of ZiG within the here-for-good policy' (eg ZiG on ⛽) and sharing a clear road map on how such are being addressed in and by the multicurrency regime.

Not an overnight gig.
