THE Bankers Association of Zimbabwe has pledged its commitment to work with the Zanu-PF led Government after the party's resounding victory in the harmonised elections.
The revolutionary Zanu-PF Party trounced the main opposition MDC-T garnering 61 percent of vote for the Presidential race and 160 seats for representation in the 210 seat National House of Assembly.
This effectively put paid to a four year marriage of convenience that gave birth to the retrogressive Inclusive Government in back 2008, which was famous for stifling development programmes.
Yesterday BAZ joined other progressive forces of like-minded intellect to congratulate President Mugabe for his emphatic victory and successful re-election as Head of State in the just ended elections.
"The Bankers Association of Zimbabwe wishes to congratulate His Excellency, President Mugabe on his recent successful re-election as the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
"The BAZ salutes the people of Zimbabwe on maintaining a peaceful environment during this period. As an organisation representing the banking industry, we are unequivocally committed to working with the new dispensation in collectively addressing the various economic challenges facing our country," BAZ said.
Sources in the banking industry said the bankers lobby group was committed to playing its pivotal role in oiling industries for economic growth.
BAZ members have a central role to play in supporting domestic economics that seemed to slow down considerably particularly last year by mobilising low priced medium to long term lines of credit.
