The second interbank auction was held earlier today and the ZW$:US$ is now at 1:63.7. The FX auction availed US$16.3 million this week, up from last week’s US$10 million.
The highest bid was ZW$92 and the lowest was ZW$37. The weighted average was ZW$63.7 up slightly from $57.3 we saw last week.
Again demand continues to outweigh supply; bidders wanted US$18.9m but the market only provided the aforementioned US$16.3m.
