Quick Update
There are rumours that bread is going to be pegged at $15 rtgs. The economy is melting with ques never-ending to the extent that passport office que is now stretching upto Samora machel. Prices of goods are rising and the exchange rates have remained stagnant from last week. Check on the rates below:
About the $100rtgs limit
There has been some confusion on what the $100rtgs limit is really about for cashout facilities. This limit is per transaction not per day. So this means you can cash out a maximum of 100rtgs per transaction, not per day.
As always Zim trending will keep you updated on the matter. Just stay tuned.

*OMIR refers to Old Mutual Implied Rate. This is a comparison of Share prices for Old Mutual in Zimbabwe, South Africa and UK where the share is simultaneously listed. The OMIR is used as a way to calculate the implied exchange rates for the 3 countries. The reasoning is that the share price should be uniform across the three since the shares lay claim on the same cash flows, assets and liabilities.
