When the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) floated the exchange rate and introduced the interbank market on February 22 this year, the Zimbabwe dollar rate was pegged at 2.5 against the US dollar.

Between February 2019 and September 30 2019, the local currency had depreciated by 84 per cent from the initial rate of 2.5 to 15.1979.
