The Zimbabwe government is telling everyone to chill about the upcoming switch to a single-currency system because their US dollar savings and investments are staying put. The National Development Strategy 2 document lays out how foreign currency-denominated assets will keep their value during the transition to the ZiG currency, and nobody's getting force-converted.
People and businesses were freaking out that their dollar accounts, pension funds, and stocks on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange would get nuked, but the blueprint makes it clear that those holdings will remain in foreign currency. The government says the multi-currency setup is ending, but they're not touching anyone's USD-based wealth.
