Yuan set to become Zimbabwe’s latest currency as China’s influence grows

明年1月XNUMX日,随着两国政府在中国国家主席进行国事访问期间进行的讨论,人民币成为津巴布韦的官方货币。

这将使人民币在津巴布韦等于美元,南非兰特和博茨瓦纳普拉,而欧元在此等式中不起作用,这可能更清楚地提醒了欧盟对津巴布韦的消极情绪。

自习近平主席不久前访问津巴布韦以来,中国已成为津巴布韦最大的贸易伙伴,投资规模也在扩大。


Looking East, after the windows to the West were locked by the Western powers, the remaining avenue to Zimbabwe, besides intra African trade, has come to export and import goods, and the use of the yuan is expected to facilitate this further. A write-off of loans worth 40 million US dollars helped Zimbabwe at the time to find a sounder economic footing again.

Chinese tourist numbers are growing as they are for Zambia and other neighboring countries, and Emirates is the one of the few airlines, besides Kenya Airways, offering daily connections from a number of Chinese cities via Dubai to Harare.
