Nick Mangwana, the Permanent Secretary for Information and Publicity, stated that the initiative aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of Zimbabwe’s virtual assets ecosystem.


Mangwana said they aim to evaluate the dangers of cryptocurrencies being “misused for money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities.”“Given the anonymity and decentralization that characterize these digital assets, it is crucial to identify and mitigate any associated risks,” Mangwana added.


The Zimbabwean government hopes to create a regulatory structure tailored to the country’s specific needs and conditions. This framework will focus on striking a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring the security and integrity of the country’s financial system.

The southern African nation is striving to keep pace with the growing trend of cryptocurrency adoption, particularly in countries experiencing financial challenges.


Zimbabwe introduced a central bank-issued digital currency backed by gold called Zimbabwe gold (ZiG) in May last year despite warnings from the International Monetary Fund.


The gold-backed digital currency proved successful and the government announced in October that it could now be used as a payment method.


For more than 10 years, Zimbabwe has struggled with inflation and currency fluctuation. Following a period of hyperinflation, the nation switched to the U.S. dollar as its official currency in 2009.


The government reintroduced the Zimbabwean dollar in 2019 to boost the flagging economy. However, it was followed by another cycle of high volatility. The administration chose to get back to using the U.S. dollar last year in an effort to control inflation.
