Zimbabwe Dollar Official Rate Moves To $4 604 Per US Dollar

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has hinted the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) – controlled foreign exchange auction floor system could be done away with, saying it has served its purpose.
Mnangagwa told Brick by Brick magazine that the forex auction system was adopted to deal with a particular challenge that he said has almost been resolved. He said, as quoted by <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/govt-to-abandon-forex-auction-system/">Business Times</a>:
<blockquote>
As we go forward, we should reach a stage where we may not need it (Dutch forex auction system) because it’s not necessary.
It has been put there to deal with a particular challenge and I think that challenge is going away. We may reach a stage very soon where we may not need it.
</blockquote>
This comes after industry put pressure on the central bank governor, John Mangudya, to consider scrapping the “inefficient” foreign currency auction system or overhauling it.
Companies have been struggling to access foreign currency allotted to them through the foreign currency auction system, and going for several months before getting the allotted funds.

Zimbabwe Dollar Official Rate Now $4 998 To The US Dollar

The Zimbabwe dollar significantly recovered for the second time in a week, trading at ZWL$5 739 to the USD at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Wholesale Foreign Exchange Auction on Thursday, 29 June.
On Tuesday, the local currency firmed against the United States Dollar to ZWL$6 326, from ZWL$6 926 on 20 June.
On Thursday, the RBZ said eight (8) bids were submitted by banks and all the bids were accepted but only four (4) were allotted cash.
According to the RBZ, US$20 million was on offer and just under US$3 million was allotted.
Commenting on the development, journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said the Government has taken out local currency liquidity so that there are few Zimbabwe dollars to buy the US Dollar. He added:
<blockquote>
This is an electioneering ploy that will backfire spectacularly.
The regime won’t let the local currency float freely because it will expose the lack of the required economic fundamentals!
</blockquote>
Chin’ono said as of Friday, 30 June, the street rate was around ZWL$8 700. On Tuesday, Chin’ono said:
<blockquote>
It is like denying food to a person with diarrhea, and then celebrating when they go to the toilet less than they did before.
You haven’t treated or cured the problem, you have simply denied the patient food, therefore there is nothing to excrete.
So what happened to the Zimbabwean dollar to firm up today? Many people are asking how this is possible.
Firstly, the central bank @ReserveBankZIM has taken out the Zimbabwean dollar liquidity in the marketplace. 
Hakuna RTGS muma streets.
Therefore the market is short of the Zim Dollar to buy the auction US dollars. 
So the movement of the rate is artificial and manipulated!
Shortage of the local currency does not mean that importers and their business enterprises have stopped working.
It just means that they are preferring to use their UD dollars to import goods.
The exchange rate is determined by the auction floor rate.
According to the central bank, auction forex only serves 13% of the total import bill of Zimbabwe. 
87% is sourced elsewhere.
Can the central bank sustain its liquidity crunch? No, it can’t and it won’t!
WHY? Because Government contractors haven’t been paid including parastatal contractors like ZUPCO who rely on government payments.
If contractors are paid, they will flood the Black Market looking for US Dollars and the local currency will crash again.
That is why I said in my opening remarks that the patient has not been cured, they simply starved the patient and are celebrating that artificial response.
Civil servant salaries were last adjusted when the rate was at Z$1,500 against the US Dollar.
But most crucially, big exporters are not getting their export surrender Zim Dollar payments too.
The government has decided to roll over these payments creating a Zim Dollar backlog.
A time will come when all these Zim Dollar payments will flood the market, that time the local currency will crash again.
Do not be fooled by election tinkering of the exchange rate.
The market is fast dollar rising, preferring to use US Dollars instead of Zim Dollars because Zimbabwe is officially under hyperinflation.
Even the official blended inflation rate month-on-month inflation rate is at 74%.
This in economics classifies Zimbabwe as hyperinflation.
This is the second time it has happened in five years.
Things will only improve when there are serious structural changes in Zimbabwe’s economy and politics and not piecemeal tempering with the exchange rate.
In Nigeria, the central bank Governor was suspended for this, and the forex market was liberalized.
In Zimbabwe, the appointing authority has no appetite for doing the right thing.
As Zimbabwe’s most recent successful Finance Minister, Tendai Biti reminded us in his dramatic terminologies, Ingori Kiya-Kiya Economics!

Zimbabwe Dollar Official Exchange Rate Now $4 868

Captains of the industry say authorities should overhaul the foreign currency auction system to eradicate arbitrage opportunities that some firms and individuals are using to accumulate cheap US dollars.
This comes after Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube said the foreign currency auction platform will be fine-tuned to close the gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel market exchange rate.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president Kurai Matsheza told <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/business-wants-overhaul-of-forex-auction-system/">Business Times</a> that the forex auction system should be overhauled to represent the true Dutch system, which promotes competition among bidders. Said Matsheza:
<blockquote>
There is a need to do a total fine-tuning of the forex auction system to represent the true characteristics of a Dutch auction system.
As we can see, the authorities have done some piecemeal adjustments to the platform but it is still a long way to go to become the real auction platform.
By doing these small changes, we still have a lot of arbitrage opportunities that some firms and individuals are capitalising on to make money.
An improved auction system is a better platform than an interbank where some people just sit down to decide the exchange rate.
This may be the reason why the official rate is 50% lower than the official rate.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe now has three forex markets namely the auction, interbank and parallel market.
Economist Gift Mugano recently said the forex markets can only converge if authorities follow the real Dutch auction system. Said Mugano:
<blockquote>
They will only converge if they follow the real Dutch auction system where you take the highest bidder price as the benchmark for the auction rather than taking the average price as done by the RBZ.
They must notify people in advance because one can’t bid in the darkness and only if they follow the rules of the real Dutch auction system will they someday converge.
You will see all the exchange rates moving in different directions. The parallel market rate will be ahead followed by other exchange rates.
The major reason the interbank can’t converge also is that there are some controls that are still there.
There are some limits to how much one can trade whereas there is no limit on the parallel market rate
</blockquote>
The Zimbabwe dollar was this week trading at ZWL$1888.80:US$1 at the auction system and above ZWL$3000: US$1 on the black market.

RBZ Forex Auction: Zimbabwe Dollar Official Rate As Of 17 January 2023

Moses Mashavave, an entrepreneur, has urged the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) to narrow the gap between the small to medium enterprises auction and the main auction.
Mashavave, who is one of those that have benefitted from the auction floor, said some SMEs that have grown in the recent past but do not qualify to participate in the main auction system, also need to be catered for. He said:
<blockquote>
We need the central bank to work to narrow the gap between the SMEs auction and the main auction.
A company that has been receiving support from RBZ for a year has obviously grown but probably is not big enough to qualify for the main auction.
</blockquote>
The auction system resumed trading last week following the closure for the festive holidays.
On 10 January 2023, the RBZ allotted a total of US$10,806,183.25, with US$10,019,285.89 going to the main auction, while the SMEs auction was allotted US$786,897.36.
Since its inception in June 2020, US$3,7 billion has been allotted through the auction system to both the main and the SMEs auction. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/call-to-revamp-auction-system/">Chronicle</a>

RBZ Forex Auction: Zimbabwe Dollar Official Rate As Of 10 January 2023

Local economic commentators say the end of year closure of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) foreign exchange auction for close to a month will not affect the market as most companies do not depend on the auction for their forex needs.
The RBZ on Monday announced that it was closing its weekly foreign exchange auction until 9 January 2023.
Speaking to NewsDay, economic commentator Gift Mugano said the closure of the RBZ auction will have no effect on the market. Mugano said:
<blockquote>
Mainstream imports by businesses are coming from companies’ own foreign currency generation at various levels.
Because of the dollarisation, companies are generating their own foreign currency through sales, they are self-sustaining.
In my view, I don’t see any effects of the closure of the auction system.
</blockquote>
Another economic analyst Prosper Chitambara also told NewsDay that the closure of the platform will have no effect as most businesses will be on holiday. He said:
<blockquote>
It is not going to affect the market much as most actors in the economy are going to close for the holiday, so I think the time will coincide with annual shutdowns by most businesses.
</blockquote>
This week the official exchange rate was set at US$1:$671.4466 while the parallel market rate was hovering between US$1:$900 and $950. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200004997/forex-auction-shutdown-inconsequential">NewsDay</a>
