Zim to miss economic growth targets: Biti
Business Reporter
FINANCE Minister Tendai Biti has warned that Zimbabwe could this year miss economic growth targets owing to revenue shortfalls and rising domestic debt.
He also attributed this to reduced demand for export commodities.
Minister Biti disclosed this to journalists at a briefing on the state of the economy for the period between January and March.
“We are facing a number of downward risks, which are threatening our macro-economic projections.
“The key reason is simply that we have not been able to meet our revenue targets and the key cause is non-performance of our diamond revenue.
“It is quite foreseeable that in the mid-term budget statement, major projections will be downwardly reviewed,” he said.
Minister Biti had projected that the economy would this year expand 9,4 percent, driven largely by mining, agriculture and tourism.
In the first quarter to March, Government collected US$771,1 million against a target of US$869,7 million.
Revenue collected from diamonds was US$30,4 million against a target of US$122,5 million.
Court to decide on Zimdollar labour awards
Daniel Nemukuyu Senior Court Reporter
THE Supreme Court is set to determine how litigants who obtained court orders in Zimdollars can be compensated in the prevailing multi-currency system.
Parliament did not prescribe the exchange rate for the conversion of the Zimdollar to multi-currency and this has brought challenges before the courts.
Since the introduction of the multi-currency regime in 2009, the Labour Court, High Court, Supreme Court and the magistrates’ courts have been inundated with applications for conversion of claims from Zimbabwe to United States dollars.
Such cases have been common in the Labour Court.
The Supreme Court’s full bench is expected to decide in a case in which 39 Fleximail Private Limited workers who were awarded damages for unlawful dismissal in Zimdollars rejected the Z$12 594,77 (revalued) cheque issued by their employer in February 2009 in settlement of the amount due.
The issue is perceived to be important and judges felt it must not be determined by the ordinary three judges of appeal, but a full bench.
