Zimbabwe Set to Roll Out New ZiG Banknotes on Tuesday, Says Central Bank
🇿🇼💵 All is in place for the introduction of upgraded ZiG banknotes, with sufficient quantities already distributed nationwide to meet anticipated cash demand, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor John Mushayavanhu announced.
🟠 The new family includes ZiG10, ZiG20, and ZiG50 notes initially, with ZiG100 and ZiG200 to follow gradually.
🟠 Weekly withdrawal limits are set at ZiG10,000 for individuals and ZiG100,000 for companies.
🟠 Old ZiG notes will continue to co‑circulate and be phased out naturally as they return to the banking system.
🟠 The redesigned notes prioritize durability and security to address the rapid wear-and-tear of previous issues.
Mushayavanhu assured the public of adequate cash availability, citing single‑digit inflation, tight monetary policy, and growing foreign reserves as pillars of currency stability.

🟠 Ban second‑hand underwear;
🟠 Subject imports like textbooks and toiletries to licensing;
🟠 The framework consolidates 16 previously scattered regulations into a unified system.

"At the core right now what makes us to defend our gains, is to ensure that we have a disciplined approach to our monetary policy stance, and this would feed probably into the real economy in the medium to long term," he said.

Zimbabwe’s Currency Stability Offers Key Lesson for Africa, Economist Says
🇿🇼🌍 A stable local currency enhances economic confidence and national pride, allowing countries to manage their own fiscal and monetary policies rather than importing external frameworks, Zimbabwean economist Malone Gwadu told Sputnik Africa.
Reflecting on Zimbabwe’s journey from dollarization to reintroducing the ZiG, Gwadu noted that having its own currency has given Harare greater control over economic policy.
💰 For other African nations, he said, the lesson is clear: development initiatives must consider their domestic currency implications.
He also highlighted Zimbabwe’s intention to join BRICS, positioning the country to benefit from alternative financing institutions and a potential new currency within the Global South framework.

Central Bank Assures Kenya Has Sufficient Reserves to Weather Currency Shocks
🔙 This follows moderate pressure on the currency due to the Iran war, Kenya's central bank governor Kamau Thugge said on Thursday.
The shilling fell about 0.7% against the dollar in March after US and Israeli strikes on Iran prompted retaliation but recovered most of those losses Wednesday after President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
🏦 The Central Bank of Kenya has paused its rate-cutting cycle to assess spillover effects from rising global energy prices triggered by the conflict.

"We have strengthened our buffers. We were waiting for this kind of shock. That is why we built up our reserves to the level where they are now," Thugge clarified.

Tight Liquidity Holds ZiG Steady Beyond 2026: Africa Economic Development Strategies
The ZiG exchange rate is set to keep stable even during periods of global volatility thanks to the restrained money supply growth and the tight liquidity, according to think tank Africa Economic Development Strategies (AEDS).
Current reserve money stands at approximately ZiG5 billion, which is “insufficient” to trigger sustained volatility in the foreign exchange market, Professor Gift Mugano, AEDS executive director, said.
Mugano's key points regarding the ZiG:
🟠 Arbitrage-driven exchange rate spikes are short-lived due to lack of liquidity support;
🟠 During recent geopolitical tensions, some retailers hiked exchange rates to ZiG45 per dollar after initially refusing the local currency;
🟠 ZiG in circulation is only about one-sixth of total foreign currency demand;
🟠 This imbalance inherently limits the currency's capacity for sharp depreciation.
