Abstract: Financial innovation has transformed and restructured financial services and its impact on economies is becoming increasingly notable. The World Economic Forum (2012) postulated that the advancement in financial innovation is a driving force for broad economic growth. Despite this acknowledgement, the effect of financial innovation on economic growth in developing countries such as Zimbabwe has received little attention. The objective of the study is to explore how innovations that lie within the local financial system improve the flow of funds into the economic system for the benefit of other sectors of the economy. The ultimate goal is to evaluate the impact of financial innovation on economic growth. The study further looks at the causal relationship between financial innovation and economic growth. This was achieved by assessing the impact of increasing financial innovations on financial sector development. The study uses Zimbabwe as a case study. The motivation of the study emanat

Abstract: In this study, the effect of anionic functional group change of polycarboxylate-ether based water reducing admixture on some fresh state properties and compressive strength of the cement paste and mortar mixtures was investigated. For this purpose, in addition to the control admixture having 100% of carboxylate as anionic functional group, four different types of admixture were synthesized by replacing 10 and 30 mol% of anionic functional group with sulfonate and phosphate functional groups. In all admixtures anionic/non-ionic group ratios, free non-ionic group contents, molecular weights, main chain and side chain lengths were kept constant. In all mixtures CEMI 42.5R type cement were used as binder. In mortar mixtures water/cement ratio, sand/binder ratio and slump-flow values were kept constant as 0.485, 2.75 and 270±20 mm, respectively. According to the test results, flow time of the paste and mortar mixtures did not significantly change by substitution of carboxylate anion functi
