Zimbabwe’s local currency, the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), is showing signs of stabilization as the government points to growing foreign reserves and targeted policy measures.
Finance Minister Prof. Mthuli Ncube stated that the combination of these factors has boosted confidence in the unit, encouraging its wider use among the public.
He emphasized that citizens can now keep their savings in ZiG with greater assurance of value retention.

The assertion of stability comes as part of a broader effort to restore trust in the domestic monetary system.
Ncube highlighted that the accumulation of reserves is a key pillar supporting the currency's floor, reducing the pressure that has historically plagued Zimbabwe's exchange rate dynamics.
This development marks a shift from previous periods of high volatility, where the local unit struggled to maintain parity against major currencies.
