Apparently the Zim government is going to pay the government employees monthly(?) bonuses in US dollars. The Zim dollar was introduced at parity with the US dollar in 2019 but with inflation the official exchange rate is now 105 Zim dollars to 1 USD and the black market rate is 175:1.

The best hope for the citizens of Zimbabwe is if BTC becomes the official currency.

Could it be that Mthuli Ncube fnally gets it? They don't want any more Zim currency. Take your Zim dollars and stuff them into pillows to sell to the tourists and use the king of currency, the USD exclusively. Inflation or the economy didn't destroy the Zim $. You got it backwards.
Cheers.
