He said: > Currency volatility is being caused by speculative behaviour in the market and a shortage of foreign currency during this high-demand season. > The government will be taking further fiscal and monetary policy measures, which may include auction redesign to deal with the volatility. > The government will also increase the supply of foreign currency at a time when demand for it is high. The Zimbabwe dollar has lost significant ground to the United States dollar during the first three weeks of 2024. The street rate weakened from US$1:$9 800 during the last week of December to US$1: $13 000 last week. On the official market, the rate stood at US$1: 5 903 on 29 December and has since declined to US$1: $8 331.
