7 | Net foreign exchange loss
The 2024 Monetary Policy Statement issued by the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) on April 5, 2024, replaced the RTGS$ with a new currency that co-circulates with other foreign currencies in the Zimbabwean economy, named Zimbabwe Gold (“ZiG”). The ZiG was introduced at a rate of ZiG13.56:US$1 on April 5, 2024 and all RTGS$ balances were converted from RTGS$ to ZiG using an exchange rate of ZiG1: RTGS$2,499. The official exchange rate of the ZiG weakened from ZiG13.99:US1 to ZiG:US$24.39 on September 27, 2024 and further weakened to ZiG24.88 on September 30, 2024 resulting in significant foreign exchange losses on the ZiG-denominated VAT and Bullion sales receivables (as indicated in the table below). The retention threshold on gold receipts remained unchanged and gold producers continue to receive 75% of their revenues in US Dollars and the balance in ZiG. The table below illustrates the effect the weakening of the ZiG, RTGS$ and other foreign currencies had on the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
