THE Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has intensified efforts to promote financial literacy in rural and marginalised communities, directing all banking institutions and microfinance institutions to submit quarterly updates on their outreach activities starting December 31, 2025.

A strong foundation of financial literacy is critical in helping support various life goals, such as savings for education or retirement, using debt responsibly and running any business.
