Over the years Harare's handling of labour issues has been atrocious with serious interference from senior political leaders whose mandates are nowhere near the labour purview. The violations peaked with the arrest and detention of ZCTU leaders over the 11 October 2018 demonstration and the 14-16 January 2019 stay away. Zimbabwe's placement on the ILO radar was a result of ITUC-Africa's recommendation after the country was placed second among Africa's top 10 labour violators. The African labour body met in Kigali Rwanda and recommended that Zimbabwe be shortlisted and be placed on a special paragraph for violations around Convention 87 on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise owing to the gravity of violations that that include arresting and detention of trade union leaders. Ethiopia leads the pack on violations and the other countries are Cameroon, Chad, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda and Ghana respectively. The ZCTU has since filed a complaint to the ILO over the violent state security clampdown October 11 2018 on trade unionists and citizens over the stay away. The complaint is the second within a Police bundle Japhet Moyo into a truck year following another one that was filed in killed, obstructed, harassed, intimidated, Amnakwa was in the country on a solidarity October last year following another brutal “During the disconnection period the assaulted and detained several protestors visit after the stayaway. suppression of a workers demonstration military and the police intensified their following a peaceful protest against the rising The ZCTU argued that the Government of against the monetary and fiscal policies brutality against the people of Zimbabwe by cost of living called by the ZCTU, some of Zimbabwe violated its own constitution that announced by authorities. following people in their homes and brutalised the arrested included the ZCTU Secretary provides for the right to life as the crackdown ZCTU Secretary General Japhet Moyo them as well as arresting them,” reads the General Japhet Moyo and President Peter left 17 people dead and said the arrests and submitted a dossier detailing how the complaint.

    Money Demand and Seignorage Maximization before the End of the Zimbabwean Dollar Stephen Matteo Miller and Thandinkosi Ndhlela MERCATUS WORKING PAPER All studies in the Mercatus Working Paper series have followed a rigorous process of academic evaluation, including (except where otherwise noted) at least one double-blind peer review. Working Papers present an author’s provisional findings, which, upon further consideration and revision, are likely to be republished in an academic journal. The opinions expressed in Mercatus Working Papers are the authors’ and do not represent official positions of the Mercatus Center or George Mason University. Stephen Matteo Miller and Thandinkosi Ndhlela. “Money Demand and Seignorage Maximization before the End of the Zimbabwean Dollar.” Mercatus Working Paper, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, February 2019. Abstract Unlike most hyperinflations, during Zimbabwe’s recent hyperinflation, as in Revolutionary France, the currency ended before the regime. The empirical results here suggest that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe operated on the correct side of the inflation tax Laffer curve before abandoning the currency. Estimates of the seignorage- maximizing rate derive from a short-run structural vector autoregression framework using monthly parallel market exchange rate data computed from the ratio of prices from 1999 to 2008 for Old Mutual insurance company’s shares, which trade in London and Harare.

    Zimbabwe to introduce Zimbabwe Bond Notes: reactions and perceptions of economic agents within the first seven days after the announcement MEFMI POLICY SEMINAR By Dr. A. Makochekanwa Deputy Dean – Faculty of Social Studies & Senior Lecturer - Department of Economics University of Zimbabwe 7th July 2016 Dr. A. Makochekanwa Outline 1. Introduction 2. Zimbabwe’s money use in perspective 3. Adoption of the multicurrency system 4. Proposed introduction of the Zimbabwe Bond Notes 5. Methodology 6. Findings 7. Conclusions and policy recommendation 7th July 2016 Dr. A. Makochekanwa Introduction "People are rushing to the bank to withdraw whatever they can as the significant concern is that people's hard-earned savings which are currently hard currency-dominated may soon be changed into a denomination of soft currency" (Mr. Busisa Moyo, President of Confederation of Zimbabwean Industries (CZI), The Sunday Mail, 15 May 2016). 7th July 2016 Dr. A. Makochekanwa Introduction . The demand for money is derived from its key functions as a store of value, medium of exchange, unit of account and a means of deferred payment. Keynes (1936), argues that there are three motives why rational economic agents would want to hold money at any particular point in time. These three motives are (i) transactions motive, (ii) precautionary motive and (iii) speculative motive. Thus the issuance of any money or anything which will mimic the functions of money in any society will always draw the attention of the majority citizens of that society. 7th July 2016 Dr. A. Makochekanwa Introduction . The announcement of the impending Zimbabwe Bond Notes by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) on 4th May 2016 resulted in a lot of reactions and perceptions from various economic agents across the country, and some beyond the borders.
