Zimbabwe’s Currency Adjustment and Inflation

Zimbabwe’s latest currency adjustment marks a critical moment in its long struggle against inflation and monetary instability. Zimbabwe’s Currency Adjustment and Inflation is a Strategic Economic Intelligence Report that analyses the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s decision to recalibrate the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) exchange rate by over 40 percent and what it signals for the country’s economic future.

The report traces Zimbabwe’s turbulent currency history—from hyperinflation and dollarisation to repeated monetary experiments—and explains why the ZiG was introduced as the country’s sixth currency in 25 years. It examines recent policy actions, including liquidity injections, sharp interest-rate hikes, and monetary tightening, aimed at stabilising prices and restoring confidence.

Beyond economics, the report highlights deeper implications: erosion of public trust, risks of social unrest, expansion of the informal economy, and national security pressures stemming from prolonged inflation. It also evaluates the geopolitical dimension, including sanctions, re-engagement with international financial institutions, and the role of governance reforms in sustaining recovery.

Designed for policymakers, investors, development institutions, risk analysts, and Africa-focused strategists, this product converts currency policy into strategic foresight.

Currency crises rarely stay technical—they become political and social flashpoints. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you stay ahead of Africa’s most consequential economic inflection points before instability hardens into systemic risk.
