Zimbabwe Launches New Gold-Backed Currency: Will it Work? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Zimbabwe's central bank launched a new "structured currency" backed by gold. This comes as it seeks to tackle sky-high inflation and stabilise the country's long-floundering economy. The ZiG - short for Zimbabwe Gold - will replace the Zimbabwean dollar which has tumbled in value over the past year, pushing inflation through the roof. Zimbabweans have 21 days to convert their old cash into new money. But analysts have questioned the move. They ask whether the country has enough reserves to adequately back the currency, There are also doubts over volatility of gold prices. So will this new currency work? Palki Sharma tells you.
