Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe continues to experience negative economic growth rates averaged at -7 per cent per annum, compared with a southern African regional average of +5 per cent. Unemployment is currently estimated at over 80 per cent of the adult working population. The inflation rate has gone up to a record high of 6,500 per cent and income and earnings fall short of the run away inflation, making it difficult for people to afford basic needs such as food and medicine.
