By Own Correspondent| Minister of Finance and Economic Development Professor Mthuli Ncube said the effects of economic reforms will lessen as the year progresses.

Ncube said this while addressing students of the National Defence Course-Intake 7 of 2018 at the Zimbabwe National Defense University in Mazowe.

He said:

Reforms are continuing, but what happens is that over the next six months we are carrying out more reforms and will achieve quite a bit, so obviously after six months then we have less reforms and towards end of year, even less reforms. So we are doing more now and less as we go forward, but it does not mean reforms are finished we will still carry out more, for instance privatisation takes a while so it always carries on, but certainly on the macro-economic front, we should have made quite a bit of progress.-StateMedia
