 | | Zimbabwe is divided into 8 provinces and 2 cities with provincial status: Bulawayo (city), Harare (city), Manicaland, Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West, Masvingo, Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South, and Midlands. |
 | | In 2004 a system of auctioning scarce foreign currency for importers was introduced, which temporarily lead to a slight reduction in the foreign currency crisis, but by mid 2005 foreign currency shortages were once again chronic. |
 | | The currency was devalued by the central bank twice, first to Z$9000 to the US dollar, and then to Z$17 500 to the US dollar on July 20, but at that date it was reported that that was only half the rate available on the fl market. |
