Lack of banks affects north of Inhambane

Lack of banks affects north of Inhambane

THE SITUATION causes many pubic institutions to be abandoned each month by civil servants in various parts of those districts, who travel long distances to Vilanculos,Massinga and Homoíne to have access to their salaries, paid via bank.

 Economic agents still rely on rudimentary methods to save money and to pay wages to their workers, besides the great danger associated with their having to carry huge monetary values ​​over long distances to do their banking.

In view of these concerns the provincial director of Earth,Environment and Rural Development in Inhambane, Diogo Borges,said  banking in rural areas remains one of the main challenges of the Government,which for this purpose is mobilizing commercial banks to assess  the financial situation on the ground in the districts.
