Zimbabwe’s new currency was assigned its own code, more than two months after it was launched in the southern African nation’s sixth attempt to introduce a stable unit.
The so-called ISO 4217 Committee, which assigns currency codes, approved Zimbabwe’s request to change the code to ZWG — Zimbabwe Gold — from ZWL effective June 25, according to a letter sent by the central bank to the Bankers Association of Zimbabwe and confirmed by both entities.
