Zimbabwe Just Outperformed the U.S. on Fiscal Policy — You Read That Right!

I never thought I’d see the day… but here we are.

Zimbabwe, the nation once mocked for trillion-dollar notes, now has better fiscal policy than the United States of America.

Yes. You read that correctly. And no, this isn’t satire.

🪙 A Gold-Backed Currency Is Winning

On Friday, Zimbabwe’s ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold) posted its biggest single-day gain of the year against the U.S. dollar — strengthening by 0.2% to 26.89/USD.

That may not seem like much… until you realize this currency is backed by real, physical gold — not debt.

According to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, gold output surged 46% in the first six months of 2025, totaling over 20,000 kg. Zimbabwe’s gold reserves have tripled, now totaling 3.4 tons, more than double what it held when ZiG launched in April 2024.

This isn’t just news. This is a monetary revolution.

🌍 Africa Understands What the West Forgot

Here’s the truth:
Every country in Africa relies on natural resources to back their currency.

• Zambia has copper — and when global copper prices fall, the Kwacha weakens. When they rise, the Kwacha strengthens.
• Zimbabwe and 🇬🇭 Ghana have gold — which is why they will soon have some of the strongest currencies on the continent.

I predict by next year, we could see $1 ZiG = $2 USD. That’s right. The gold-backed ZiG could double the value of the U.S. dollar.

😳 The IMF Actually Approves?

Surprisingly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has praised the ZiG’s relative stability, encouraging Zimbabwe to make it the sole legal tender.

Yes, the IMF — long known for imposing fiat-friendly policies — now sees Zimbabwe’s gold-backed currency as a credible path forward. That’s how serious this shift is.

💸 Meanwhile in the U.S…

While Zimbabwe is building its reserves, the Federal Reserve is printing dollars like confetti at a Super Bowl party.

America’s debt is unsustainable. Inflation is still eating into savings. And the dollar, once king, is losing global trust as emerging markets pivot to gold, Bitcoin, and asset-backed currencies.

Zimbabwe’s monetary reset may just be a preview of what’s coming next — not just in Africa, but globally.

📢 Final Thoughts: The Tables Are Turning

Zimbabwe is showing the world what happens when a nation ties its currency to something real.
Not just paper. Not just promises.
Gold.

The same country once held up as the worst example of hyperinflation might just be writing the next chapter in sound money.

As I said…

I never thought I’d see the day.
But Zimbabwe has better fiscal policy than the U.S. — and I’m here for it. 😂
