RBZ Says It Has Sold Gold Coins Worth ZW$3.7 Billion, 90% In Zimbabwe Dollars

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor, John Mangudya has reported that gold coins’ sales have as of Thursday 11 August 2022 reached ZW$3.7 billion with 90% of sales being made in the local currency.

In a statement the Mid-Term Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) seen by Pindula News, the central bank’s chief said:

As at 10 August 2022, 4475 gold coins had been sold realising ZW$3.7 billion of which 90% was paid in local currency and the balance in foreign currency, and evenly distributed throughout the agents.

The high demand for the gold coins will assist in mopping up liquidity from the market and thus strengthen the demand and enhance the value of the local currency. The Bank shall continue to release additional gold coins into the market on an ongoing basis in line with demand.

The apex bank introduced the Mosi-oa-Tunya gold coins on the 25th of July in an effort to stabilise the economy by easing demand for US dollars and storing the value of money after the Zimbabwe dollar lost more than two-thirds of its value against the USD this year.
