Zimbabwe’s central bank governor, John Mushayavanhu, has stated that the bank might use its foreign currency reserves to protect the Zimbabwe Gold (zig) from severe market disruptions. He also pledged to maintain a tight monetary policy to ensure stable inflation and exchange rates. The zig, a gold-backed currency, has experienced a decline in value against the U.S. dollar.

The bank’s foreign currency reserves, including gold, have increased since the zig’s introduction.
