Objectives of Bank Licensing, Supervision & Surveillance Division The objectives of the Division are to: enhance and maintain the safety and soundness of the financial system through effective risk-based supervision; periodically review regulatory and supervisory regulations, policies and procedures in line with international best practice and the macroeconomic environment; promote public confidence in the financial system by ensuring a consistent, objective and transparent regulatory and supervision process; minimise moral hazard and supervisory forbearance through taking prompt supervisory action against weak and troubled financial institutions in order to protect the integrity of the financial system; promote sound corporate governance practices and adoption of adequate risk management systems; foster a culture of strict compliance with laws, rules regulations, policies, procedures, guidelines and international best practice; and building supervisory capacity through structured training and development programmes to enhance the skills base. 3 I. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this annual report is to provide an analysis of the condition and performance of the banking sector in Zimbabwe for the year ended 31 December 2011. This report presents an overview of the supervisory operations and activities during the period under review. The report also provides an update on major developments in the banking sector since inception of the multiple currency system in February 2009. 4 II. GOVERNOR’S FOREWORD 1. The Zimbabwean banking sector continued on a recovery path, during 2011, prompted by the multi-currency regime, which stabilised the economy, dissipated inflation and ushered in renewed confidence in the banking sector. The new environment translated into improved financial intermediation, as evidenced by the growth in loans advanced to various sectors of the economy 2. Notwithstanding the significant progress in the economic turnaround, the banking sector faced numerous challenges in the operating environment, which constrained efforts towards attainment of financial stability. 3. The operating environment was characterised by transitory deposits, absence of an active inter-bank market, lack of an effective lender of last resort function and market illiquidity. Market illiquidity, which was largely indicative of subdued export earnings and limited access to external lines of credit, starved productive sectors of the economy of much needed working capital and retooling. 4. Increasing exposure to liquidity risk was evident in the last quarter of 2011, when the sector faced challenges in facilitating cash and electronic payments prompted by increased demand and increased volume. 5. Against this background, the envisaged recapitalisation of the Reserve Bank by the Ministry of Finance in order to revive the lender-of-last resort function is most welcome as this will go a long way in alleviating the liquidity constraints and revive the inter-bank market. 6. The issue of banking sector capitalisation came to the fore in the interests of maintaining financial stability in the absence of a meaningful lender-of-last resort function. 7. During the year under review, the Reserve Bank witnessed the resurgence of malpractices in the sector, including corporate governance violations and abuse of depositors’ funds, a development that posed significant threat to public confidence and financial sector stability. 8. In this regard, the Reserve Bank introduced a number of enhancements to its supervisory activities aimed at ensuring effective supervision, foster and maintain financial stability and provide assurance to all stakeholders on the soundness of the financial sector. 5 9. The effects of the Global Financial Crisis and the Eurozone Crisis on the world economy highlighted a number of supervisory shortcomings relating to supervision of complex financial products, supervisory co-operation and the need for robust capital and liquidity standards. 10. To this end, the Reserve Bank continues to work with banking institutions towards full implementation of Basel II and its enhancements contained in Basel III. The Reserve Bank will also refine its supervisory methodologies and techniques, including reviewing minimum capital requirements and financial sector legislation and guidelines, as well as heighten efforts towards implementation of a broad based financial stability thrust in financial sector supervision, in line with international best practice and lessons learnt from the Global Financial Crisis and Eurozone Crisis. 11. Once again, I acknowledge all our stakeholders, whose support has contributed to the fulfilment of the Central Bank’s mandate of promoting financial stability. Dr. G. Gono Governor 6 III. DEPUTY GOVERNOR’S REMARKS 1. During the period under review, the Reserve Bank, through Bank Licensing Supervision and Surveillance Division (BLSS), carried out its supervisory mandate with focus on promoting and maintaining the safety and soundness of the financial system, through proactive regulation, in line with international best practice. 2. The banking sector was generally safe and sound. However, one institution was placed under curatorship in June 2011, following a determination of corporate governance malpractices and gross abuse of depositors’ funds. 3. During the year, banking institutions focused on strengthening their capital positions in order to underwrite more meaningful business, improve profitability and grow their market shares. 4. In this regard, and in the in the interests of maintaining financial stability, the Reserve Bank has enhanced the Troubled and Insolvent Banks Policy to provide guidance on the resolution of problem banking institutions. 5. In view of the challenging operating environment being faced by banking institutions, the Reserve Bank instituted a number of measures to enhance regulation of the sector and promote financial stability. 6. The measures include among others, the review of corporate governance guidelines and disclosure requirements for banking institutions, as well as proposed amendments to the current legislation to ensure that they move in tandem with local and international developments in the financial services sector. 7. With regards to financial inclusion, the Reserve Bank welcomed the increased focus on mobile banking products by banking institutions in collaboration with mobile network operators. Further, the Reserve Bank is working closely with the Ministry of Finance in drafting a Microfinance Bill, which seeks to address challenges being faced by the microfinance sector such as tenure of licences, consumer protection issues and transparent pricing in line with international developments in the microfinance sector. 8. The Reserve Bank spearheaded the setting up of a Multi-disciplinary

  • School of Postgraduate Studies Bank Failures: Examining Corporate Governance Principles and Practices of Indigenous Banks in Zi
    SCHOOL OF POSTGRADUATE STUDIES BANK FAILURES: EXAMINING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF INDIGENOUS BANKS IN ZIMBABWE AND THEIR IMPACT ON ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS BY JUSTINE CHINOPEREKWEYI PHDOLD1511443 SUPERVISORS: DR. EMMANUEL P. MULENGA DR. ABEL C. SHIMBA Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the award of the Doctor of Philosophy Degree (PhD) in Organizational Leadership and Development at the University of Lusaka, Zambia. 2018 P a g e | i Abstract The health of the banking industry is strongly dependent on the state of corporate governance in an economy. The adoption and enthronement of sound corporate governance principles and practices is regarded as important in ensuring bank organizational effectiveness at institutional, industry and inclusive levels. The inclusive level of organizational effectiveness takes into consideration all the stakeholders of the bank. The Zimbabwean economy has experienced persistent indigenous bank failures allegedly due to internal corporate governance deficiencies during the period 2000-2015. The present study sets out to address two research concerns (1) to identify and discover Zimbabwean indigenous banks’ corporate governance irrationalities with regard to organizational effectiveness and, (2) to achieve regulation change through understanding and explaining the impacts of the adopted corporate governance principles and practices on organizational effectiveness. This research examines the corporate governance mechanisms of Zimbabwean indigenous banks and their impact on organizational effectiveness. The research adopts a methodological pluralism approach using the phenomenology and symbolic interactionism epistemological strands. These techniques are used in an effort to address the cardinal points of this research being to identify, discover, understand, explain, predict and recommend controls to the bank failures in light of internal corporate governance deficiencies phenomenon in Zimbabwe.

Loans form a greater portion of the total assets in banks. These assets generate huge interest income for banks which to a large extent determines the financial performance of banks. However, some of these loans usually fall into non-performing status and adversely affect the performance of banks. In view of the critical role banks play in an economy, it is essential to identify problems that affect the performance of these institutions. This is because non-performing loans can affect the ability of banks to play their role in the development of the economy. A case study research design of CBZ Bank Limited was employed. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The paper revealed that external factors are more prevalent in causing non performing loans in CBZ Bank Limited. The major factors causing non performing loans were natural disasters, government policy and the integrity of the borrower.

  • IV. TRADE POLICIES and PRACTICES by SECTOR (1) 1. Zimbabwe Considers Agriculture
    WT/TPR/S/252/Rev.1 Trade Policy Review Page 62 IV. TRADE POLICIES AND PRACTICES BY SECTOR (1) INTRODUCTION 1. Zimbabwe considers agriculture (including livestock and forestry) as one of the engines of economic growth necessary for its reconstruction and poverty reduction. Since 2000, the sector has faced constant decline in both production and productivity, mainly due to, inter alia, the Fast Track Land Reform Programme, erratic weather, limited access to finance (local and offshore), energy (electricity and fuel) problems, infrastructure bottlenecks, producer and food price controls, and large- scale underutilization of land. Lack of security of tenure has negatively affected investment in the sector. The Government intends to revive all the agriculture subsectors including maize, wheat, tobacco, cotton, coffee, sugar, beef, horticulture, and floriculture. Agricultural activities remain heavily protected and supported, including through high tariffs, a price band system, and other government incentives such as export finance, insurance, guarantees and other related trade finances facilities. 2. Mining has been a preferred sector for foreign investment in Zimbabwe; it has an immense potential. The policy objectives are, inter alia, to sustain development of the country's mineral resources and to create employment opportunities by profitably exploiting Zimbabwe's natural resources for its socio-economic development. Environmental issues in mineral exploitation, as well as indigenization and empowerment issues, are given due attention at project inception and development stages. The mining sector continues to benefit from incentives provided under the different trade and investment regimes. However, increasing government control, and lack of clarity over the mining royalty and tax regimes remain.
