Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Gideon Gono hailed the appointment of former Justice minister Patrick Chinamasa as the Finance minister saying it was extremely reassuring that the new Cabinet had been installed and said the new finance boss will be equal to task.

Gono said Zimbabwe's new Finance Minister is "more than equal to the task" of providing strong economic leadership.

Patrick Chinamasa, who held the position on an interim basis between 2008 and 2009 and is credited with dollarising the economy, was named Finance Minister in President Robert Mugabe's Cabinet announced on Tuesday.

Gono said the Cabinet team announced by Mugabe had "lots of potential" to consolidate the economic stability which has prevailed since 2009 when a power sharing government took office after President Mugabe agreed to share power with his MDC rivals.

Gono says the new Cabinet announced by President Mugabe on Tuesday has the capacity to carry the country forward.
