Zimbabwe has been advancing towards currency stability through the introduction of the ZiG currency, backed by gold reserves and foreign currency. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) launched Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) to counter inflation, with the goal of reducing it from over 55% to 2% annually. While facing challenges like illegal foreign exchange trading and coin shortages, the RBZ is actively addressing these issues by cracking down on illegal FX traders, freezing bank accounts, and improving the availability of smaller denomination coins. To promote the usage of ZiG, cash withdrawals using debit cards will be facilitated at select financial service points, enhancing the currency's accessibility and stability in financial transactions.
