Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has announced its intention to partially privatise Fidelity Printers and Refiners. The central bank is going to unbundle and dispose of part of its stake to partially privatise the gold refining business by allowing private players to acquire a stake in the entity.
Full Statement Below
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (the Bank) would like to inform members of the public that at its meeting on 9 December 2020, the Bank’s Board of Directors resolved to dispose of Tuli Coal (Private) Limited to Government and to unbundle Fidelity Printers and Refiners (Private) Limited (FPR) into two business entities, that is (i) gold refining and (ii) printing and minting.
Valuations of these Bank subsidiaries were undertaken by independent valuers. The disposal of Tuli Coal (Private) Limited will fulfill the Bank’s long-held desire to sell itsentire equity in the asset, which is capable of predominantly producing thermal coal, for the benefit of the economy.
The unbundling of FPR is designed to partially privatise the gold refining business by allowing private players to acquire a stake therein and in the process secure and endear the privatesector’s interests in the production and marketing of gold in Zimbabwe.
By being part of the decision making process on gold trading, it is expected that the gold producers’ compliance levels in the trading of gold will significantly increase. Accordingly, the Bank shall retain 40% shareholding in FPR and dispose of 60% shareholding to both the large-scale and small scale gold producers.
Using a three-year average delivery of gold to FPR, the Bank will offer 50% shareholding in FPR to the large scale gold producers, 3% to major FPR gold buying agents and the balance of 7% to the small scale producers through their representative bodies.
The Bank shall continue to have 100% equity in the printing and minting business for national security reasons.

This site was… how do you say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve
found something that helped me. Many thanks!
Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you
finding the time and effort to put this content together.
I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and leaving comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!
thank you very much
thank you
Thanks for sharing such a good thought, post is pleasant, thats why i have
read it entirely
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
thank you, we will improve next time
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging
links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?

greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free
to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
