Le ministre des Finances du Zimbabwe, Mthuli Ncube, a une fois de plus parlé des avantages potentiels de l'utilisation des crypto-monnaies. Dans de nouveaux commentaires faits peu de temps après avoir visité le DMCC Crypto Center à Dubaï, Ncube raises the possibility that the country might use cryptocurrency-based solutions to lower the cost of remitting funds across borders.

Understanding Cryptocurrencies
Prior to making these remarks about cryptocurrencies, Ncube has previously exhorté Zimbabwe to “invest in understanding emerging innovations like bitcoin.” At the time, Ncube, who had just been appointed finance minister, told Zimbabwean authorities to emulate countries like Switzerland which he said were “investing in and understanding bitcoin.”
toutefois, in his latest positive comments about cryptocurrencies, Ncube said:
I visited the DMCC CRYPTO CENTRE in Dubai, which is a fascinating incubation hub for crypto currency and payment solutions. Came across solutions that could lower charges for diaspora remittances.
While some within Zimbabwe’s crypto community on Twitter have applauded Ncube for making such comments, many others are not amused. Au lieu, they are asking why it has taken a tour of an incubation hub in Dubai to prod the minister into addressing the issue.
Still others like Victor Mapunga, CEO of Flexfintx, are quick to remind the minister that Zimbabwe already has enough blockchain and crypto start-ups. In his reply to Ncube’s tweet, Mapunga wrote:
We already have blockchain & crypto companies in Zimbabwe such as Flexfintx. Work with local players.
Mixed Reaction to Ncube’s Comments
Entre-temps, un rapport by Techzim concludes that the minister, who tweeted about DMCC Crypto Centre right after the tour, is in fact not aware that Zimbabwe already has start-ups that offer similar solutions. The report then lists some of the blockchain start-ups that already offer faster payments solutions and low-cost, cross-border remittance services.
toutefois, not everyone agrees that crypto is a solution to the country’s currency woes. Par exemple, Twitter user Senator Jopa Sayeyo a écrit:
“When banks stop manipulating the forex exchange rate then maybe then the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe [RBZ] can consider cryptocurrency. Otherwise, it will lead to a massive crash of the ZWL [Zimdollar].»
