Murerwa denies fallout with Zimbabwe's Gono

Zimbabwe's finance minister dismissed rumours he is at odds with central bank governor Gideon Gono as the country's economic crisis deepens, reports said on Tuesday 12 December.

In an interview with the state-controlled Herald newspaper, Herbert Murerwa said he had no problems with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe chief.

"We consult each other on key policy matters and there has not been any single instance where tension, if at all, boiled over," said Murerwa.

"I have no time for fights and we will continue working towards achieving this difficult goal of growing the economy," the minister added.

In Tuesday's interview, the finance minister said he was startled at the reports of a bitter quarrel.

"I think the press has always created this misunderstanding between me and the governor," he said.
