关于 Zambian Kwacha
The current Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) was introduced in 2013, replacing the old Kwacha (ZMK) by redenominating it by three zeros (1000 ZMK = 1 ZMW). This was a measure to combat persistent inflation.
The name 'Kwacha' means 'dawn' in Nyanja and Bemba, symbolizing the dawn of independence. 'Ngwee' means 'bright' in Bemba, referring to the shine of copper.

A Rebirth of the Kwacha
The 2013 redenomination saw the removal of three zeros, making the Kwacha more manageable and improving confidence in the currency after years of high inflation.
Copper is King
Zambia is a major copper producer, and the Kwacha's value is highly sensitive to global copper prices, making it a commodity currency.
