Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe will print its own version of US dollars i.e. “bond notes” in order to ease a cash shortage in the country. The specially-designed $2, $5, $10 and $20 bond notes will have the same value as their US dollar equivalents. The Central bank governor John Mangudya has stated that new currency notes, also known as bond notes, will be backed by $200m (£140m) support from the Africa Export-Import Bank. In 2009, due to prolonged hyperinflation, Zimbabwe had declared its own currency “Zimbabwean dollar” as defunct. Since then, Zimbabweans have been using US dollar, the South African rand, the British sterling and the Chinese yuan for their daily needs.
