The Journey from ZWL to ZWG
Zimbabwe's currency history is one of the most dramatic in modern economics. The transition from the Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWL) to the Zimbabwe Gold (ZWG/ZiG) represents a fundamental shift in monetary policy—from fiat currency to asset-backed stability.
The Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) Revolution (2024-Present)
The Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), officially coded as ZWG, represents a new approach: a currency backed by gold reserves and other precious minerals. This asset-backing is designed to provide intrinsic value stability, addressing the fundamental trust issues that plagued previous iterations.
Key Features of ZWG (ZiG):
- Backed by gold reserves held by the central bank
- ISO 4217 compliant currency code (ZWG)
- Designed for both local and international transactions
- Regularly audited reserve backing
