MY INTEREST IS RISING IN A FUTURE
AFRO-CURRENCY
-
Ndaba Sibanda

The surface is coarse,
crooked and even cooked.
African child: it’s time
to have the future double-booked.
Confidence, is the
determination of currency exchange rates
the same as the global
manipulation of their expiry dates?
As economists harp on the
supply and demand of currencies
on global foreign exchange
markets, I feel the itchy discrepancies.
Often, I feel the
frustration of failing to pay ‘low’ submission fees
and other international
charges by virtue of forex exchange decrees
that say even if one has
the equivalent amount in one’s bank account
that kind of money is a
no-deal. Dilemmas and dynamics too high to surmount
for countless ordinary
African citizens. Economic experts say a currency's worth
will increase if demand is
high, and its price will drop if demand is low. A rebirth
is key! Experts say the
influences of a nation's economic health include interest
rates, inflation, account deficits and capital
flow. An Afro-currency is my
INTEREST.
