The cash situation has improved with some banks in Harare
dispensing a combination of United States dollars and bond notes to depositors
for the festive season.
The Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe Governor Dr John Mangudya says the improvement in cash availability is
a result of the huge chunk of foreign currency imported by government to ease
long queues and ensure people have access to money for the festive season and
beyond.
Various indigenous banks were dispensing a combination of
US dollars and bond notes starting on Thursday.
ZBC News caught up with some depositors in a jovial mood as
they managed to withdraw their cash ranging from US$50 to US$100.
Some banks were dispensing cash from the ATMs while at some
financial institutions, civil servants were withdrawing a maximum of US$300 at
one go.
Meanwhile, the RBZ has urged people to be patient and
desist from rushing to withdraw all their deposits as the first step taken
under the new dispensation will see more foreign currency and bond notes being
injected into the system during and after the festive season.
