Zimbabwe Government Responds to Currency Crisis: Salaries and Bonuses for Civil Servants Now Paid in US Dollars


In response to the recent devaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar (ZiG), the Zimbabwean government has announced that salary increases and annual bonuses for civil servants will now be paid in US dollars. July Moyo, the Minister of Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare, stated that this decision aims to alleviate the financial burden on lower-income workers grappling with inflation and widespread poverty. The ZiG's exchange rate has been adjusted from 1:14 to 1:24 against the dollar, prompting the government to take immediate action to support its employees.


Moyo confirmed to The Sunday Mail that the Treasury has allocated sufficient US dollars for government employees, including an increase in their salary's dollar component. “The government has allocated a substantial amount in US dollars to ensure that all civil servants benefit from these salary adjustments,” he said. He emphasized that under the President’s directive, priority would be given to salary increases for lower-income employees to help close the wage gap. Additionally, discussions regarding the schedule for the 13th salary and yearly bonuses are nearing completion.


The introduction of the ZiG in April has faced challenges, particularly in the parallel market where it struggled to maintain value. Despite efforts by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) to stabilize the currency system, critics argue that more needs to be done. They suggest simplifying processes and reducing bureaucratic hurdles to restore confidence in the currency market. Many Zimbabweans continue to rely heavily on the US dollar for transactions, which accounts for approximately 85% of all economic activity.


As Zimbabwe navigates these economic challenges, the government's decision to pay salaries in US dollars reflects a broader strategy aimed at mitigating inflationary pressures and supporting vulnerable populations. The move is seen as a necessary step towards ensuring financial stability for civil servants while addressing ongoing concerns about currency reliability and economic management in the country.
