(RCSD) Zimbabwe dollar pronounced dead
Zimbabwe dollar pronounced dead
http://www.upi.com HARARE, Zimbabwe, March 20 (UPI) -- Zimbabwe's Finance Minister Tendai Biti told members of parliament that the country's currency was essentially dead. "The death of the Zimbabwe dollar is a reality we have to live with," he said. "Since October 2008, our national currency has become moribund," Biti said during a 2009 budget presentation, New Ziana reported Friday. Along with his remarks, Biti announced "the removal of all foreign currency surrender requirements." Previously, Zimbabwe's central bank required currency traders to pay 5 percent of their gross earnings at the Zimbabwe dollar's exchange rate. The inflation rate in Zimbabwe hit what has been called a "hyperinflation" rate, officially posted as 231 million percent, essentially wiping out the currency's value. ---------------------------------------------------------------- As a result of this, postal rates have been stated in $US / S.A.
