Zambia's Currency Ban: End of the Dollar Era?

In a bold move that's sending shockwaves through the global financial community, Zambia has announced plans to criminalize the use of foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, for local transactions. This drastic step could mark a significant shift in the international monetary landscape and align Zambia with the growing de-dollarization efforts of the BRICS nations. The Bank of Zambia recently released a draft document outlining severe penalties for those caught using foreign currency in domestic transactions. Violators could face up to 10 years in prison or hefty fines.
