email facebook linkedin twitter Whatsapp Zimbabwe's foreign currency inflows increased 33.7% year-on-year to $15.9 billion in the first nine months of 2026, generating a cumulative surplus of $4.3 billion. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe raised foreign exchange reserves to nearly $2 billion in September from $1.4 billion in June, strengthening external buffers. The ZiG remained broadly stable against the U.S. dollar during the third quarter as stronger export earnings and diaspora remittances supported the country's external position. Zimbabwe recorded total foreign currency inflows of about $15.9 billion during the first nine months of 2026, compared with $11.9 billion during the same period in 2025, marking a 33.7% increase. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) disclosed the figures in its latest report released on Tuesday, October 6.

"The strong foreign currency inflows, which exceeded foreign currency payment requirements, resulted in a cumulative surplus of $4.3 billion," the RBZ said.
