Zimbabwe's central bank and business leaders met Friday to explore ways to halt the plunge of the local currency against the US dollar, the state-controlled Sunday Mail newspaper reported on Sunday.

No further details were provided on the specific measures adopted.The local unit weakened 3.68% on the first day of official trade last week to Z$112 per US dollar. It trades for less on the parallel market at more than Z$200 per US dollar.

In an interview with Bloomberg News on January 18, Mangudya expressed reluctance to act to narrow a widening gap between the national currency's official and black market rates, saying businesses are to blame for the disparity.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
