Zimbabwe will produce bank notes equal to US dollar

Zimbabwean authorities decided to issue banknotes, which will be equal to the US dollar at a ratio of 1:1, according to the British BBC Radio and Television.
This decision is due to a shortage of cash in the country of US dollars, which since 2009 in Zimbabwe are legal tender along with South African rand.
It is planned to print Zimbabwean own banknotes in denominations of two, five, 10 and 20 dollars, which will be equal to USD. Financial support for this idea of ​​the Zimbabwean authorities in the amount of $240 million came from the African Export-Import Bank.
Until 2009, the currency of Zimbabwe have been the Zimbabwean dollar, but due to the huge inflation, it was decided to abandon the national currency, to stop its release and move to settlements in US dollars and South African rands.
