Zimbabwe Stock of money

Factbook > Countries > Zimbabwe > Economy

Stock of money: $NA (31 December 2008)
$14.18 trillion (31 December 2007)
note: this number reflects the vastly overvalued official exchange rate of 30,000 Zimbabwe dollars per US dollar; at an unofficial rate of 800,000 Zimbabwe dollars per US dollar, the stock of Zimbabwe dollars would equal only about US$500 million and Zimbabwe's velocity of money (the number of times money turns over in the course of a year) would be nine, in line with the velocity of money for other countries in the region
