HARARE – Cybercrime and mobile money fraud are emerging as growing threats in Zimbabwe’s rapidly expanding digital economy, prompting regulators to intensify public awareness campaigns and urge citizens to safeguard their personal information.

HARARE – A senior official at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has urged citizens to change their perceptions of the country’s local currency, the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), saying public confidence is critical for the nation’s long-term goal of achieving a mono-currency economy.

Zimbabwe’s Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Mthuli Ncube, has gazetted a new family of ZiG banknotes following their unveiling during the 2026 Monetary Policy Statement. The new notes were first presented last week by John Mushayavanhu, Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has announced major changes to bank charges, placing limits on withdrawal and swipe fees and removing some charges altogether. The move is meant to make banking more affordable and encourage people to use formal financial services.
