President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday appointed John Mangudya for a second and final five-year term as central bank governor.
He was first appointed to the post in 2014 but his term was marred by the bank’s decision to introduce the surrogate bond note currency two years later in a bid to end a severe shortage of U.S. dollars and cash.
Mangudya’s appointment had been largely expected after Mnangagwa’s spokesman George Charamba said the governor would get a second term.
At the moment, Zimbabwe is gripped by a severe shortage of dollars that has seen the country struggle to import food and medicines for hospitals.
