@mimmitwit My neighbour is Botswana 🇧🇼 & they have entered into a crisis of trying to diversify their economy late after exporting raw diamonds since the 1960s 🤷🏽♂️…we are being excoriated
Over the last 18 months, KYCed personal Zimbabwean accounts added just over US$4 billion to their overseas & offshore accounts (bringing the total now held by Zimbabweans outside the country to just over US$40 billion).
Because it's actually cheaper to use a foreign debit card for everyday purchases in Zimbabwe than a local one, more & more hard currency is being stashed away overseas by Zimbos.
You, @The_Mushroom_Co, should get @NomalisoN or @begottensun to open an SA account for you and use that as your primary account for your transactions in Zim.
Even with the charges levied by Hawaladars to move your money to SA, you'd still be saving something like 70% in fees over a year!!
The certainty that, very soon, all your US$s will be forcibly converted to ZiG and devalued almost instantly is driving more & more hard currency out of the country.
The markets never lie, @matigary@Mavhure@mimmitwit
Be pragmatic about natural resources beneficiation it may make sense exporting row
Look at what your neighbour is doing dont try to do the same thing
