By Prof. Amath Ndiaye<\/strong> – Economist, FASEG-UCAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe, the ninth largest gold producer in Africa with nearly 47 tons per year, demonstrates a simple but essential economic truth: mining wealth does not guarantee the value of a currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Zimbabwe experienced one of the worst hyperinflations in contemporary history, wiping out household savings and ruining businesses. Zimbabwean banknotes worth billions of dollars had no real value, forcing the population to resort to the US dollar, which became the country’s de facto currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faced with this uncontrolled dollarization, the government attempted to restore its monetary sovereignty. In 2022, it introduced gold coins to try to stabilize the local currency, and then in April 2024, a digital currency backed by gold, called ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold). Presented as an instrument of stability, ZiG was supposed to symbolize the country’s economic renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But reality quickly caught up with political ambition: in less than a year, ZiG lost nearly half of its value. On the parallel market, one US dollar exchanges for more than 30 ZiG, compared to 13.5 at the time of its launch. Once again, the experience proves that the yellow metal cannot replace economic credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 *Gold may shine, but it never replaces trust.* <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the end of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, no currency in the world is convertible into gold. The value of a currency now rests on three fundamental pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 the credibility of the issuing state,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\ufe0f\u20e3 the strength of the economy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\ufe0f\u20e3 and monetary and budgetary discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe, plagued by deficits, corruption, and unstable governance, has accumulated structural weaknesses. Even backed by gold reserves, its currency remains unable to reassure citizens and markets. Trust, once lost, cannot be decreed: it is rebuilt through transparency, rigor, and economic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, the strongest currencies in the world are not those of countries richest in gold. They correspond to the five currencies composing the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights (SDR): the euro, the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound, and the Chinese yuan (renminbi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of these currencies are backed by a precious metal. They derive their strength from the size of their economies, the stability of their institutions, and the global trust they inspire. It is this trust – and not gold – that constitutes the true foundation of monetary value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not gold that makes the currency, it is the credibility of the economy that ensures its value.<\/p>\n
