Meanwhile in Zimbabwe
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
Even with our high fuel price, the weakening rand-dollar exchange rate and falling stock market, one really gets worried about the economic news from Zimbabwe. The inflation rate is 132%. At that rate, all prices double every two and a half years. Last week, Zimbabwe's central bank increased its lending rate from 80% to 200%. Officially, the Zim dollar trades at 352 for one US dollar; in the parallel market, it is 600 for 1. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
