Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 32432, member: 636"] Zimbabwe takes a big step toward healing old wounds. The government started paying white farmers for land taken during reforms. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube announced payments through Treasury bonds and cash. Three hundred seventy-eight farmers will receive compensation through this program. The move helps clear national financial roadblocks. Farmers will get bonds worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The government plans to pay US$3.5 billion over ten years. These bonds come with special tax-free benefits for recipients. Farmers can trade the bonds on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange. The compensation helps rebuild trust between different farming communities. International partners watch Zimbabwe's reform efforts closely. The United Nations Development Programme praises these reconciliation steps. Payments represent a chance to restore agricultural sector relationships. Financial experts see this as a pathway to international re-engagement. Zimbabwe wants to clear economic barriers blocking growth. Bonds carry a low two percent annual interest rate and are recognized as liquid financial assets nationwide. Institutional investors find these bonds attractive and tradable. Pension funds can now be invested in these government securities. Financial experts see this as a creative debt resolution strategy. The government remains committed to economic transformation. Clearing arrears helps Zimbabwe access long-term capital investments. These settlement efforts make foreign partnerships easier. Agricultural sector healing moves forward through transparent processes. Zimbabwe rebuilds international economic relationships step by step. [/QUOTE]
