UK Government supports call for the restoration of Zimbabwe’s IMF voting rights
The UK Government today welcomed the call by Zimbabwean Finance Minister Tendai Biti for the restoration of Zimbabwe’s voting rights at the IMF.
The recent improvement in the macroeconomic management of
Zimbabwe under Minister Biti has seen a stabilisation in
inflation, the restoration of key services, an increase in tax
revenue and growth in the Zimbabwean economy.
The UK
Government also welcomes Zimbabwe’s re-engagement with the IMF
over the last year, which has underpinned economic reform in
Zimbabwe. Support for restoration of Zimbabwe’s IMF voting rights
is recognition of this progress, and forms part of Zimbabwe’s
re-engagement with international financial institutions.
