According to the Monetary-Policy-Statement from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe released this February, Mangudya said banks should compete with the digital age so as to come up with innovative banking products.
"Banking institutions should explore new technologies and business models to enable the institutions to compete in the digital age and come up with innovative banking products," he said.
Meanwhile, Governor Mangudya said the bank has already embarked on initiatives to establish the Fintech agenda.
"The Bank is in the process of finalizing a regulatory sandbox framework. The framework will outline the qualification, application and evaluation criterion for entities to be admitted into the sandbox. The sandbox provides an opportunity for innovators to connect to banks and other financial system players. The operationalization of the framework will thus promote competition and efficiencies through innovation," Mangudya said.
