ZCE White Sugar

ZCE white sugar futures trade on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (ZCE). They were launched on January 6, 2006. 
In the first half of 2009, ZCE white sugar futures traded 116,695,160 contracts (down 17.6 percent from the same period last year), particularly due to the subdued activity in the months of May and June, during which, on average, 392,939 and 433,419 contracts traded per day, respectively, down sharply from an average 1,194,971 and 947,955 contracts in May and June 2008. As a result, ZCE White Sugar futures accounted for only 14 percent of the nationwide volume for the six months ending June 30, down from 24 percent in 2008, and instead DCE Soy Meal futures became the most actively traded futures contact in China.
Each ZCE white sugar futures contract represents 10 tons of deliverable 1st grade white sugar, which is defined in accordance with Exchange standard Q/ZSJ002-2005, while substitutions at differentials that meet ZCE delivery rules are also good for delivery, and its delivery date is set as the twelfth trading day of the contract month.
Each ZCE white sugar futures contract is subject to a margin rate equivalent to 6 percent of contract value (e.g., 2303.4 yuan = 3839 yuan [SR901 last price on May 22, 2008] x 10 [tons/contract] x 6 percent) as well as a trading fee of 4 yuan (RMB) / contract. 
In 2008, ZCE white sugar futures contract was the most actively traded (in terms of volume) and largest (in terms of turnover) futures contract on the ZCE as well as in the overall Chinese futures market, with 330,929,492 contracts traded (+263.91 percent YOY) and turnover amounting to 11,869.7 billion yuan (+236.82 percent YOY), making it the most actively traded agricultural contract in the world, according to the FIA. 
One of the reasons for high activity is the relatively small size of both producers and commercials in China's sugar industry. In China, white sugar is made from sugar cane, which is grown in Guangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong, and Hainan, or sugar beets in Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
In the first four months of 2008, trading volume of ZCE white sugar futures contract set five new highs, with 2,758,044 contracts traded most recently on April 16, 2008.

Zagreb Stock Exchange

__NOTOC__
The Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE) is one of the larger exchanges in the Balkan region by market capitalization but has also generated speculation about its possible sale in recent years, especially to the Vienna Stock Exchange group. The ZSE also successfully inked deals with exchange-technology providers NASDAQ OMX Group in 2006 and 3i Infotech early 2010. 
==Background==
The forerunner of the modern-day Zagreb Stock Exchange, the Zagreb Commodities and Valuables Division of the Zagreb Chamber of Commerce, was launched on June 15, 1907 and traded until its first shutdown in 1911. It reopened in 1918, shut down again under communism in 1945 and re-opened once more in 1991 by a group of 27 Croatian banks and insurance companies. Three years later, in 1994, the Zagreb Stock Exchange introduced electronic trading for its member brokers.
In November 2006 the ZSE signed an agreement with exchange-industry leader Nasdaq OMX Group to co-operate on technology and product development with a possible view to integrating ZSE with OMX-owned The Nordic Exchange group in Scandinavia and the Baltic.Just over two years later, in Febrary 2009, ZSE announced that it had placed itself on the market and had drawn interest from Wiener Börse, then holding company of the Vienna Stock Exchange group, although no sale eventuated. In November of that year, ZSE's then- CEO Roberto Motusic re-emphasized the need for consolidation among the Balkan region's exchanges, either via takeovers or voluntary partnerships.
== Latest results ==
The ZSE's total market capitalization rose 4.1% between June and July of 2010 to sit at 173.8 billion Croatian kunas (about US$40 billion), significantly larger than near neighbors like the Macedonian Stock Exchange with a total market cap of US$2.5 billion. Total turnover on the ZSE fell 3% between June and July 2010 to 856.4 million Croatian kunas.
==Key people==
In March 2010, then-president of the ZSE Management Board Roberto Motusic was ousted by the exchange's Supervisory Board and replaced by current incumbent Ivana Gazic, who later also became ZSE Chairwoman.
==Latest news==
In April 2010 the ZSE successfully implemented the AWACS market-surveillance system just four months after agreeing to purchase the system from global market-technology provider 3i Infotech. The AWACS provides exchanges with early-warning alerts against market abuses such as insider trading and front-running and market manipulation ruses such as wash trades, churning and order layering, 3i Infotech claims.

Zillaqa

Zilliqa is a high-throughput public blockchain whose native coin is ZIL. Zilliqa leverages sharding to achieve scale. 
== Background ==
Zilliqa was originally developed by a team from the National University of Singapore School of Computing based on a 2016 research paper on sharding by an associate professor there, Prateek Saxena. Along with Saxena, Max Kantelia and Juzar Motiwalla formed Anquan Capital in 2016, which incorporated Zilliqa Research in 2017 with the goal of establishing a blockchain. Dong Xinshu was hired as its CEO, Yaoqi Jia as its chief technology officer and Amrit Kumar as its chief scientific officer. All three previously worked as research fellows at with Saxeena. 
By late November 2020, its market capitalization of the almost 14 million issued ZIL reached $340 million. It was ranked 43rd among cryptocurrencies according to market capitalization by CryptoCompare, an online data aggregator and reporting service. 
Until the launch of the Zilliqa mainnet, the ZIL token was a mined ERC-20 token, part of the Ethereum network. It was used as an incentive payment to verify transactions, pay transaction fees, and pay for smart contract execution on the Zilliqa mainnet.
== Zilliqa network == 
According to press reports at the time, Zilliqa's January 31, 2019 launch of its public mainnet was the first successful demonstration of sharding. Sharding is the term for any number of techniques that are used to manage large databases, and in blockchain it refers to splitting blocks into smaller blocks in order to speed transaction confirmations on the blockchain. 
Zilliqa uses a bespoke smart contract language called Scilla, whose name comes from Smart Contract Intermediate Level LAnguage. Its "functional programming design"allows it to be more friendly towards static checks and formal verification.

Zimbabwe Stock Exchange

Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE), established in 1896, is the second largest equities exchange in southern Africa after the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). It has a market capitalization of around $6 billion. It has been open to foreign investment since 1993.
The exchange stopped trade on Dec. 17, 2008 after the country’s Securities Commission on Nov. 20, 2008 ordered stockbrokers to submit audited financial reports of their net worth by the end of December 2008. The commission had warned broking firms they would be closed if they failed to meet the deadline.
The impasse on the ZSE spilled into 2009 with stockbrokers advocating for the local bourse to be dollarized as investigations of alleged insider trading continue. It was reported that ZSE chief executive Emmanuel Munyukwi said trade would resume when investigation on various issues was complete and other demand examined.
 
 
== History ==
The ZSE launched an electronic trading board in late 2008, becoming the third African country to move from a manual system and paving the way for investors' to have access to real time data, officials said. The system made the ZSE the third after Johannesburg and Cairo, and the 60th in the world to install an electronic display, which will also supply data from the Zambian and Malawian bourses.

Zombie bank

A "zombie" bank is one that is artificially kept alive by a government bailout, when it otherwise would have died (failed). In the strictest definition it is a bank with a market worth of less than zero.
The term zombie bank or zombie firm was first used to describe failing businesses propped up by the Japanese government during a period of economic stagnation in Japan in the 1990s (called "the lost decade"). The strategy led to a bubble and consequent collapse, in part because the capital injections were not big enough to fix the system.
