Loading ...Zimbabwe dollar notes issued for first time in a decade
Queues have formed outside banks in Zimbabwe as people hope to get hold of the country’s first Zimbabwe dollar notes to be issued since 2009.
The currency was scrapped a decade ago because of hyperinflation when prices were almost doubling every day.
Zimbabwe’s central bank hopes the new notes will ease a severe cash shortage as the country suffers a deepening economic crisis.
The bank has played down fears that the move will fuel further inflation.
Currently inflation is thought to be about 300%.
