IMF visit

    JOHANNESBURG

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is sending a mission to Zimbabwe next week to review the country's economic performance, news reports said on Friday.

    The visit from 16-24 February will form the basis of a report to be presented to the IMF board. It would also keep the door open to negotiations over the disbursement of outstanding balance-of-payments support.

    The IMF withheld this support over Zimbabwe's failure to meet agreed economic targets, the news reports said. Meanwhile, a World Bank team is currently in the country working on a social protection programme. The World Bank, in line with the IMF, has withheld funding for Zimbabwe worth over US $100 million.
