ZiG currency

Regional central banks tighten currency oversight as Botswana's Bank of Botswana prohibits Valentine's Day cash bouquets citing defacement laws, while Zimbabwe's Reserve Bank prepares to issue new ZiG banknotes under strict monetary controls.

Zimbabwe's government collected US$18 million from vehicle number plate issuance in H1 2025, while releasing ZiG20 million to complete a registry office delayed for two decades, signaling improved fiscal collection and infrastructure investment.
