	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>​We regularly discuss Zimbabwe's serious economic problems with its government, including rising inflation fuelled by monetary financing of the budget deficit. We agree with the May 2017 IMF recommendations for the government to take urgent action to curtail public expenditure and refrain from further central bank financing. Zimbabwe urgently needs to embark upon a comprehensive package of reforms through full re-engagement with the International Financial Institutions. We have been clear that this will require genuine commitment to reform in both the economic and governance spheres. Our Ambassador in Harare raised this with the Minister of Finance in April.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 29/06/2017 12:36:27 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
