Zimparks Charging Foreigners In United States Dollars

Some government departments are reportedly charging United States dollars for the payment of all goods and services paid by foreigners. The government position is that the United States dollar and bond note are at par. However, the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) insists that foreigners should pay for goods and services in foreign currency at selected recreational facilities. In a report by the Daily News, Zimparks said

All our foreign clients must with immediate effect pay for goods and services offered by the Parks Authority in foreign currency without exception… In line with the monetary policy statement announced by the Reserve Bank Governor on October 1, 2018, and the subsequent Exchange Control directive RT120/2018 dated 4 October 2018, we are pleased to notify you that we have opened the Nostro FCA- Domestic Account.
