Foreign Currency Reserves Backing ZiG Increase

Zimbabwe's foreign currency reserves backing the ZiG rose to US$1.5 billion by May 2026. This amount provides the country with approximately 1.5 months of import cover. Experts note the country requires two more years of sustained growth to reach the three-month threshold. The reserve buildup strengthens the currency against external shocks. Sustained economic growth is required to ensure full reserve adequacy.
