Gono: Zim must repay debt, reform economy
Zimbabwe's central bank governor said the country must repay debts to multilateral institutions, restore donor relations and push through economic reforms to end a deep crisis, state media reported on Sunday. Gideon Gono was quoted as saying Zimbabweans needed to work together to rescue the economy, the strongest signal yet that he is ready to cooperate with Finance Minister and senior MDC official Tendai Biti on the reforms needed to lure donors. "A robust future has to emerge through deeper cooperation among us as Zimbabweans as we work in harmony with each other to steadfastly implement coherent and internally consistent sets of macroeconomic policies," Gono told the Sunday Mail. Some critics blame Gono, an ally of President Robert Mugabe, for many of the policies that have wrecked an economy that was once one of Africa's strongest, and have doubted his commitment to reversing steps such as nationalising companies.
