Zimbabwe bond notes and USD SI 127 of 2021

Yesterday the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe delivered his first Monetary Policy Statement of 2019. This was one of the most awaited statements to date.

    Next time it would be in the best interests to use an objective assessment tool..Reliability and validity of the assessment tools used is questionable, as we do not know how you reached those percentages.You might want to develop a survey assessment tool validated by experienced researchers, so that your results can be used by interested stakeholders and academics in future.

    Was there a scientific method used to come up with these marks or it’s purely opinion based???
