The Zimbabwean dollar has rapidly lost value against the United States dollar (USD) since its reintroduction in 2019. The depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar has been caused by factors such as economic mismanagement, corruption, and political instability.
The devaluation of the currency has resulted in increased prices of goods and services, reduced purchasing power, and has negatively impacted the economic growth and development of Zimbabwe.
