Treasury Services and International Finance

Notwithstanding the prevailing socio-economic challenges in Zimbabwe, like in any other economy, there is a wide array of investment opportunities, not only for the professional corporate or individual investor, but also for the "man on the street". Various financial institutions and financial markets offer many types of securities for investment purposes. In this unit, we explore the investment environment offered by these institutions and markets.
Treasury’s primary function is managing the liquidity (ability to pay) of the bank. It also offers short term investment options on the money market. Instruments traded on the money market are short term, marketable, low risk and highly liquid.

Examples of the instruments that are traded on the money market include:

• Treasury Bills (T-bills),
• Certificates of Deposit,
• Commercial Paper,
• Bankers' Acceptances,
• Repurchase Agreements (Repos).
