Zimbabwe launches new gold-backed currency


Zimbabwe has introduced a new gold-backed currency which the central bank hopes will bring stability to the country’s economy. But as Columbus Mavhunga reports from Harare, economists and ordinary Zimbabweans have their doubts.

  1. Time to liberate Zimbabwe.
    And yes, Zimbabwe can produce enough gold to back their currency. Every year, they mine 1.2% of new global supply, about 37 metric tons, despite being only 0.2% of the global population.

  2. Not the smartest move to shout out the world yiu have enough gold to back your currency. They should have done quietly.

    They just gave an inviting to foreign mining concerns to raid your homeland and the international bank cartel the will to sabotage their financial sovereignty.

    Otherwise , well deserved to Zimbabwe. Just having a stable currency would do it. Keep the recipe secrets under wraps.

  3. And Bitcoin is a currency controlled by Satoshi nakamoto Miguel Angel mejia and if you want a strong currency for your countries I say look at Bitcoin price and offering 1 million bitcoins to all 196 countries each 205 states and others as I am owner of block #0 infinity bitcoins they are still saved and only authorized by me to release 21 million bitcoins because 21 million would be created those where my words.

  4. Obviously they will have to suffer more economic pain, but once they build back faith in their currency and lose their stigma, they will probably fare much better in the long-run. This is as long as corruptiom doesn't send them back to the shadow realm.

  5. The only problem with this is they have to hope the people in the central bank don't steal the gold, leaving the new currency worthless. Centralized ANYTHING is less trustworthy, and on top of that, they have such a small supply of gold in the first place compared to every other nation. Although this MIGHT work if they insist other nations pay them in gold, and only use this new currency for local transactions.

  6. It’s about the currency, it’s about how corrupt our leaders are! You blame western leaders of cheating us but the actual economy is being destroyed by our own big men and women in Africa.

  7. Zimbabwe owns 2.5 tonnes of solid Gold, it's not much when compared to the gold reserves of China and Russia. I do admire their forward thinking and really hope that Zimbabwe will succeed this time

  8. You know, if ANY country in the world wanted to give a gold standard comeback a try, it'd be these guys. It certainly can't turn out any worse than those silly dozen zero currencies they used to have…

  9. They should have backed it in Bitcoin.other countries in Africa will and we'll watch how they skip the line in the global hierarchy. 🤫
