Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. President Emmerson Mnangagwa, through the Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) (Financial Laws Amendment) Regulations, 2021, introduced last week SI 127 of 2021 that forced businesses to use the US$1: ZWL$84 exchange rate.
The Statutory Instrument also made it illegal to give customers a discount for paying for goods or services in foreign currency, refuse to take local currency payments at the official exchange rate and issue Zimbabwe dollar receipts for goods paid for in foreign currency.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has posted some points to note on SI 127 of 2021. Pindula News presents below the points as given by the central bank.
