Jim. Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen and comment on all the songs! You are a absolute star.

Bwt..RTGS = Real Time Gross Settlement... it is the new "Zimbabwe currency". Zimbabwe doesn't have their own official currency. They adopted the US dollar quite a few years ago. The problem is that there is no physical cash there so people pay for goods and services using their debit cards. Goods are 4* the price if you pay with your card than if you are lucky enough to have some physical cash and can pay with US dollar notes.

So the Zimbabweans call this paying with your card "RTGS". The worry is that hyper inflation takes over with this unofficial currency (like it did a few years ago when they abandoned the Zim Dollar and any Zim Dollar balance basically went to zero....).

It is so complicated it is going to take a genius to sort it out. I think the IMF have been trying to help but nothing seems to be changing very rapidly.
