FULL TEXT: Government Introducing Local Currency (ZWL) Fuel

The Zimbabwe Energy Authority (ZERA) has said the government is intending to introduce a programme for the supply of local currency (ZWL) fuel into the market. This comes as some analysts are saying selling fuel in foreign currency only is one of the drivers of the parallel exchange rates since forex is scarce even at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s auction system. Pindula News presents ZERA’s statement.

ROLL-OUT OF LOCAL CURRENCY (ZWL) FUEL INTO THE MARKET

The Government intends to roll out a programme for the supply of local currency (ZWL) fuel into the market for the benefit of the following consumer categories: agriculture value chain, public transport, Government Ministries and agencies, Government projects, motoring public and emergency services. The rest of the fuel consumers will continue to be served by oil companies utilising own resources/free funds and selling the same fuel in foreign currency. The local currency fuel, which will be distributed through National Oil Infrastructure Company (NOIC), will be accessed by oil companies who meet the following conditions:

• The company must be a holder of a valid ZERA license.

• In the case of a procurement licensee, the company must have at least three retail sites.

• The company must not have been previously charged/blacklisted for any violation of the law
The operating conditions for the companies involved in the local currency fuel are the following:
