Government has taken a decisive action by blacklisting 51 contractors for illegally diverting funds received for payments for goods and services to the illegal foreign currency parallel market.
The blacklisted companies have been under scrutiny since July 18 2022, when Treasury tasked the Financial Intelligence Unit to monitor all payments of high-value government contracts to identify those involved in illegal foreign currency dealings.
The aim was to contain market forces and align the macro-economy to the liberalized foreign exchange market, whose exchange rate is freely determined by the banking system based on demand and supply.
The introduction of the (ZiG) as legal tender on April 5, 2024, has further stabilized the economy and brought about orderly pricing in the market, a positive development that the government seeks to maintain.
The continued implementation of the Value for Money principle in government has realized savings that have enabled the implementation of programs and projects that benefit citizens.
