What does diesel and gas cost here
Next time you go to the pump and look at the price, give thanks you are not driving your Sprinter around in Zimbabwe.
. . . a loaf of bread, which cost about Z$15 million before the polls, now costs about Z$600 million.
A two-litre bottle of cooking oil costs about Z$5 billion, almost equal to an average low-income worker’s monthly wage, piling the misery on a country also grappling with food, fuel, water and electricity shortages, 80 percent unemployment and hyperinflation.
Official figures put Zimbabwe’s annual inflation — the highest in the world — at 165,000 percent in February, but analysts say the figure vaulted as high as 1.8 million percent by May.
Here at home things might not get better but they could certainly be a lot worse!
