Mushayavanhu Says RBZ To Ensure "Seamless" Transition To ZWG From ZWL

Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor John Mushayavanhu has announced the approval of a new currency code for Zimbabwe’s currency, ZiG, by the International Standard Organization (ISO) 4217 Committee on Currency.

In a statement released on Monday, July 1st, Mushayavanhu disclosed that ZiG has been designated with the currency code ZWG and numeric code 924, replacing ZWL and 932 respectively.

He emphasized that the currency name remains Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), which will continue to be used for the country’s notes, coins, and all domestic transactions.

Mushayavanhu also reassured the public that these changes to the currency code and numeric code will not impact their everyday transactions. Reads the statement:

INTRODUCTION OF ZIMBABWE GOLD (ZiG) CURRENCY CODE (ZWG)

1. Following the Monetary Policy Statement pronouncement on the 5th of April 2024 introducing the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency, the public is advised that, in line with international best practice, the new currency code has been approved by the International Standard Organization (ISO) 4217 Committee on Currency.

2. A currency code is a unique three-letter acronym that identifies a country’s currency in international trading platforms. The first two letters (ZW) represent the country whilst the last letter (G) represents the currency identifier. In addition to the currency code, a currency is also allocated a unique numeric code.

3. The Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency was assigned currency code ZWG and numeric code 924 to replace ZWL and 932 respectively. The minor units of the Zimbabwe Gold currency shall be denominated with two decimal places as ‘cents’. These changes became effective from 25 June 2024 and both codes will circulate concurrently on international platforms for a period of two months up to the 31st of August 2024. This is to allow necessary and seamless system changes in the background.

4. The currency code is used in the foreign exchange market, across banking, payments, businesses, and other systems.

5. The Reserve Bank would want to reiterate that Zimbabwe’s currency name remains Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) and will continue to be used in the country’s notes and coins, and as a reference for all domestic transactions. This is in line with global best practice where there exists a currency code and currency name for each respective country.

6. The Reserve Bank assures that the changes do not affect the transacting public as these are done as back-end system processes. In this regard, the Bank will ensure a seamless transition from the old currency number and currency code to the new ones.

Since 1980, the Zimbabwe Currency Code has changed several times: from ZWD, ZWN, ZWR, to ZWL, and now ZWG.

are people on top afraid for their positions when they perform functions which should be done by junior staff? does the RBZ not have a spokesperson or a public relations person for the governor to announce a mere name change which does not change any other thing? we do not expect to see the mayor doing meter reading or the commissioner of police always at road blocks. the people on top are there to use their brains and people below are there to use their skills and bodies in executing what comes out of the brains of those on top! you cannot have a driver and always be driving yourself around, there is a reason why the job says you need a driver, so it is with all other positions.
