Can Zimbabwe’s ZiG win trust and replace the US dollar?

Zimbabwe’s government is seeking wider use of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), introduced in April 2024 and described by the central bank as backed by foreign-currency and precious-metal reserves, including gold. After hyperinflation, the country abandoned its currency in 2009 for a multicurrency system dominated by the US dollar, then brought back a domestic currency in 2018 without restoring public confidence. Primary school teacher Charles Mbwandarikwa, who receives about a third of his salary in ZiG, exchanges it quickly after losing his pension savings in 2009 and seeing his salary’s value fall from the equivalent of $540 to $40 in 2018. On April 7, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduced an upgraded series of ZiG banknotes with revised designs to bolster the currency’s credibility.

Iraq parliament approves al-Zaidi’s cabinet amid growing economic concerns

Iraq’s parliament completed the formation of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government by approving 11 vacant cabinet posts and three deputy prime ministers. Nayef al-Shammari was named defence minister and Yasir al-Maliki interior minister, while a vote on the migration and displacement minister was postponed amid party disagreements. One approved deputy prime minister is Laith al-Khazali, a senior figure in the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement, which the United States designated a foreign terrorist organisation. Al-Zaidi said the government must tackle economic and security challenges as Iraq faces severe liquidity shortages linked to the war and reduced oil revenues.
