Zimbabwe’s introduction of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency is a historic attempt to stabilise the economy and restore monetary confidence — and it lands just as central banks worldwide push Digital Currencies and CBDCs for innovation, financial inclusion and monetary stability. This programme equips banking and payments teams to act on both: integrating CBDCs and digital currencies into the bank’s digital strategy, designing ZiG-based digital wallets and payment solutions, and building embedded finance models that drive engagement and loyalty. Regulatory and compliance frameworks, currency risk, liquidity and alignment with RBZ monetary policy objectives anchor the programme, with case studies from Africa, Asia and global pioneers.

Frequently asked
How does the programme address the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency?
ZiG anchors the programme: participants position it within their strategy based on its role in national monetary stability, design ZiG-based digital wallets and payment solutions, and align initiatives with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s monetary policy objectives. Reducing currency risk and improving liquidity through digital channels are treated directly.
What else does the programme cover?
Integrating CBDCs and digital currencies into the bank’s digital strategy rather than running them as side projects, building embedded finance models that drive engagement and loyalty, and opening new revenue lines through digital finance and mobile banking — with case studies from Africa, Asia and global pioneers. Regulatory and compliance frameworks are examined as professional training, not legal advice.
