RBZ Governor John Mangudya told the inaugural Monetary Policy Committee media briefing that the new currency will come in the form of $2 and $5 notes. The notes will also be introduced together with a $2 bond coin.

The move is part of efforts to curb the high premiums on cash. “The Committee noted that the level of physical cash in the economy is inadequate to meet transactional demand, considering that the current proportion of cash to broad money supply of 4% is low compared to regional and international levels of 10-15%. This low ratio has resulted in an undesirable cash premium which the Committee would like to see eliminated.”

Overall, there would be a gradual increase in cash supply over the next six months.

The committee, which is chaired by Mangudya, also noted the need to review upwards the cash withdrawal limits to ease the burden on the transacting public. This additional cash injection will be carried out through the non-inflationary exchange of RTGS money for physical cash. how much ivermectin should i take?
