THE International Monitory Fund IMF has said Zimbabwe should show a commitment to clearing its accumulative debt if the country is serious about re-engaging with the international financial community.

Harare's external debt, at $10 billion, continues to block access to fresh funding and government feels its resolution would bring the economy on the growth path

The country owes the IMF and the World Bank $124 million and $1 billion respectively.

An IMF delegation which has been in the country over the past two weeks on a review mission told a press conference Monday that Zimbabwe was paying a monthly instalment of $150,000 as its debt repayment.
