S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Zimbabwe’s gold-backed ZiG currency has strengthened to its highest level against the US dollar since January, supported by a global surge in gold prices and tight monetary policy. The unit traded at 25.98 per dollar as rising bullion values boosted reserve backing. The central bank says continued gold purchases and high interest rates are supporting stability, though adoption remains cautious amid memories of past currency failures.
