Economist Yusuf Dodai says the decision taken by the Central Bank to provide market support of 369 million United States dollars to moderate volatility and broadly support the importation of critical commodities does not provide the permanent solution to the volatility of the kwacha.
In an interview, Mr Dodia says what the government should be focusing on is the implementation of the proceed trucking framework which will allow for more dollars to flow in the Zambian accounts even if the monies are not being internalized.
Meanwhile, Zambia Car Dealers Association Vice Chairperson, Mosha Kafuta, says the recent appreciation of the Zambian kwacha has not in any way impacted their businesses because the appreciation is not sustainable.
