"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare." – Japanese proverb Introduction According to Viewpoint, a vision is a statement giving a broad, aspirational image of the future that an organization is aiming to achieve. It outlines what the organization wants to be, or how it wants the world in which it operates to be. A vision concentrates on the future and it is a source of inspiration that provides clear decision-making criteria. It may also create a sense of direction and opportunity to managers and other stakeholders. For a vision to inspire managers and other stakeholders, it should be achievable, and it should answer the question, what do we want to become?

According to the foreword by DR G Gono, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor commenting on the supervisory action taken in terms of the troubled bank resolution framework, ……… “ The creation of ZABG represents the single major supervisory action taken ever by the Reserve Bank, with the main objective of being the protection of depositors’ funds and restoring stability and confidence in the financial sector…………………..’’ The statement by the Governor reflects that it is not the responsibility of an individual bank to restore confidence in the sector. Having said that, it is therefore evident that ZABG’s quest to restore confidence in the financial services sector is not achievable. Since the vision articulated where the bank envisaged to become in the future, it worth noting that the question, what do we want to become, was well taken care of and was answered. Relevance of the vision In the current prevailing economic conditions that is characterised by low liquidity levels where the Central Bank has no control over the velocity of money, it becomes almost impossible that one of the players dream of building confidence in the market. Currently, the Reserve Bank cannot even perform one of its key functions that of lender of last resort. ZABG’s vision to build confidence in the sector is not relevant because it is not the responsibility of an individual bank to perform that function but for all the players in the industry.
The fact that banks control 97% of the world's money supply makes them a vital institution. Banks are the engine of our modern financial system and a source for economic growth. The bank's ability to create credit can have destructive effects; the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008. In both cases, banks spurred on an asset bubble through overextending credit to aid the purchase of assets. The result was an economic collapse that wiped out wealth and reduced credit creation which stalled productive investments. The lessons of the two great economic collapse support the notion proposed by the author, that bank credit for transactions that do not contribute to the economy should be restricted.
The banking industry has undergone major upheaval in recent years, largely due to the lingering recessionary environment and increased regulatory environment. Many banks have failed in the face of such tough environmental conditions. These conditions

The First Security Bank (FSB) of Malta, Montana fall victim to a crime of credit card fraud, money laundering, and embezzlement. The crime stared a small city in Montano with a couple thousand, who was startled from the crime. The vice president of operation of the bank was a pillar of the community and the suspect of the bank’s crime. The scheme was committed over a long period of time.

Collins and Porras (1996) states that when organizations provide a vision for its management and employees as a whole, its vision should provide guidance about what core to preserve and what progress to be made in the future (p. 78). Nonetheless, when understanding the purpose of organizations providing a vision, I found that it is important to acknowledge that a vision consists of the major components of Core ideology and Envisioned future. First, Collins and Porras (1996) states that the major component of Core ideology helps organizations defined its vision by organizations acknowledging what they stand for and why they exists in society overall. Second, Collins and Porras (1996) states that the major component of Envisioned future entails what organizations aspire to become, achieve, and create (p. 78). Furthermore, the Envisioned future of organizations also aspire them to acknowledge the significant change and understand the progress

Any successful organization in in the 21st century should have a mission and a vision. When an organization has a foundation and a purpose for existence, they will have the basic qualities of a successful establishment. To follow through with a mission, a vision must be created. A vision is based off of a company’s purpose for existence and formation of long-term goals. Without goals, an organization has nothing to work for and no reason to become successful. While working at Safeway, I was aware of the mission of the company and the vision that the company had.

This gathering of governor was joined by leading academics, thought leaders, and commentators on monetary policy. The world of modern central banking and global finance had now entered a new phase of even more obvious artificiality and distortions. According to the author, Mohamed. El-Erian, “Ones whose skillful management of the price and quantity of money in an economy was key to containing inflation, promoting economic growth, and avoiding financial crises.” Since the global financial crisis of 2008, central bank has ventured, by necessity but not by the choice. They set the interest rates higher. For an unusually prolonged period, the central bank was bold policy experimentation. During that time, many of the economists thought that central banks had been forced to operate, and many of them wondered about it consequences. From the beginning of the financial crisis, there was the hope that courageous and responsive central banks would succeed in handing off the baton to high growth, robust job creation, price stability, and financial system. The world was in the process of grow out of its debts problems avoiding the debt defaults because the policy making entities were finally in the economic governance responsibilities and with the job returning and economic prosperity. The world changed in two important ways: one had to do with the analytics of central banking,
Vision is defined as the image that the organization aspire to became in the future.
