BRICS De-dollarization: Zambia ditches US dollar
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Republic of Zambia has become the latest nation to join the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) economic bloc in its efforts to abandon the United States dollar as a medium of exchange.

According to a draft document released by the Bank of Zambia on Saturday, individuals found using foreign currency for local transactions will face severe penalties, including imprisonment of up to ten years or substantial fines.

This move is seen as a strategic alignment with the BRICS nations’ de-dollarization mission, aimed at reducing dependence on the US dollar in international trade. Former Zambian President Thabo Mbeki has publicly endorsed this initiative, highlighting the growing sentiment among China, India, African countries, and Latin American nations to question the dominance of the US dollar in global trade.

Mbeki emphasized that when two countries not using the US dollar as their local currency engage in trade agreements, the use of the dollar becomes unnecessary. This shift in policy is expected to have significant implications for international trade and commerce in the region.

The Zambian government’s decision to enforce the use of the local currency, the Zambian kwacha, is aimed at promoting economic sovereignty and reducing the country’s reliance on foreign exchange. This move is also seen as a strategic move to strengthen ties with the BRICS nations and promote regional economic cooperation.

The implementation of these measures is expected to have far-reaching consequences for businesses and individuals operating in Zambia, and it remains to be seen how effectively the government will enforce these regulations.
