Date: April 5, 2024

Zimbabwe has decided to replace its struggling local currency with a new one backed by gold and foreign currencies in an effort to stabilize its economy and combat inflation.
The country reintroduced its own currency in 2019 after a period of dollarization, but it failed to gain public trust, with over 80% of transactions now conducted in foreign currency.
The new currency, named Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), will circulate alongside other foreign currencies.
The exchange rate for ZiG will be determined by the closing interbank exchange rate on April 5 and the London PM Fix price of gold on April 4.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe described the new currency as "structured," backed by a combination of foreign currency and precious metals, primarily gold, held as reserves by the central bank.
"If we implement these measures, we expect them to have an impact on inflation," central bank governor John Mushayavanhu told reporters.

US Space Force the Guardians of QFS?

The new name for military space professionals, announced on Friday by Vice President Mike Pence, may appear to be a play on the Marvel superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy. But Space Force officials said it was a callback to a 1983 motto.
Vice President Mike Pence announces that uniformed members of the U.S. Space Force will be called Guardians. There you have it: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardians.
What is the enemy right there in the space? We have not been attacked by aliens. Maybe QFS satellites need more protection.

Taiwan's Currency Backed by Gold Reserves: Central Bank

A central bank official announced on Friday that Taiwan holds around 422 tonnes of gold in reserve, managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to support the national currency.
Of this, 410 tonnes are dedicated to backing the issuance of New Taiwan dollars, while a smaller portion is used every four years to mint commemorative coins for the inauguration of the president and vice president.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan ranks 12th globally in gold reserves.
Despite a significant increase in gold's value since its purchase in the 1970s, the central bank is not buying or selling its reserves.
Taiwan's unrealized gain from these reserves is nearly NT$900 billion due to gold's appreciation.
