Zimbabwe’s new central bank governor vowed to restore confidence in the institution that’s repeatedly failed to stabilize prices and the nation’s currency.

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is rolling out a ‘Back to Basics’ plan that will initially focus on consolidating the introduction of the nation’s new national currency — the ZiG, John Mushayavanhu said in a circularBloomberg Terminal to staff.
