Finance Minister Prof Mthuli Ncube has dragged his feet in clarifying whether there are any independent auditors appointed to verify the reserves backing the just introduced ZiG currency.

The nation's sixth currency was introduced on April 5 2024 with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe claiming that it was backed by 2,5 tons of gold and US$100 million cash.

"It's very important for the public to be confident about the existence of these reserves that are backing the currency. By law, we have put in place mechanisms that auditors should be able to audit the existence of this gold. "Most African countries and many others in emerging markets are facing trouble in stabilising their currencies. Everyone is trying to figure out how best they can stabilise their currencies to maintain competitiveness.

He underscored that the nation was not returning to the gold standard and stressed the commitment to limit the issuance of the domestic currency and reserve money and only to increase it in line with base reserve assets.
