ZiG

For a start, it's making it compulsory for companies to settle at least half of their quarterly taxes in ZiG, according to the central bank report.

2024 April 9, Huileng Tan, “Zimbabwe just introduced a new gold-backed currency in an attempt to fight inflation and wean off the US dollar”, in Business Insider, archived from the original on 2024-04-12:

After the ZiG was introduced electronically, bank accounts of some businesses were frozen, accused by the government of rejecting the new currency.

2024 April 30, Farai Mutsaka, “Zimbabwe’s ZiG is the world’s newest currency and its latest attempt to resolve a money crisis”, in The Associated Press, Harare:

Ms Dhliwayo would use Zigs if there were any to be had - but it mostly exists digitally, and in a place where people can rarely charge their phones because of blackouts, it is cash that counts.

2024 May 5, Farai Sevenzo, “Is Zimbabwe zigzagging into further currency chaos?”, in BBC News, Harare:

Abbreviation of Zimbabwe Gold, the official national currency of Zimbabwe since April 2024, which began as a gold-backed digital token in October 2023.
