The present economic crisis! (26 photos)

I hope we will never be so!

The crisis in Zimbabwe began in 2000, after President Mugabe took the land from the whites and give them black.
Immediately enveloped the entire agricultural sector, imposed sanctions against the country, the inflation started.
This year, inflation stood at a record 231 million percent a year.
Do you understand this number? 231 000 000% a year. Unemployment - 80%, one-third of the population left the country

That beggar boy received last December trifle. Denominations of 200,000 Zimbabwean dollars.




Little millionaire.
One such bill - about 10 cents. The official exchange rate is several times higher, but it does not change anybody.



On December 22, there was a bill in the country, 50,000 Zimbabwean dollars.



Then - 750,000



In mid-January - 10 million



Multi-millionaire



This bill of $ 10 is 10 times more than the bill in 10 million Zimbabwean dollars.



And it is already February. Now poprashaykam provide not just 200 000, and the whole pack 200,000th banknotes.



Local billionaire. The suitcase 65 billion Zimbabwean dollars.
And this is only 2,000 US dollars. That was in March



Man goes to the supermarket. Again March. The course is 25 million Zimbabwean per US dollar.



This pack costs $ 100.



In April, the government thought "Walking as a walk" and issued a bill of $ 50 million.



But inflation is not in place. In May, there was a bill of 250 million



Prices in shops. Almost 3 billion for a T-shirt or pants



In mid-May there is a bill of 500 million



But time flies, flies economy. In June, there are 25 bills and 50 billion



And in July, and has all the 100 billion



What can they buy? Well, for example, three eggs



And that's when people become like this to go to a restaurant ...



Getting there such accounts ...



The houses had no place for pile of cash ...



The government came to the rescue, was released in August of the new notes, TEN removing zeros from the old



But inflation ... They have forgotten about inflation again ... in September for such a pile of money, you could buy 4 tomatoes



And for a loaf of bread



And away we go. New banknotes - 20,000 in September



50 thousand and a half weeks ago. Until the end, there is a good chance to go back billions.



Now, the true face of the crisis:

Zimbabwe - the only country in the world where the largest denomination - 50 000, and the roll of the cheapest toilet paper costs 100 000.
If you take 100 000 and change them for the smallest denominations of Z $ 5, you will get 20 000 notes. On average, a roll of toilet paper - 72 pieces.
It turns out that in Zimbabwe to use money instead of toilet paper in 278 times more profitable than buying them this very paper.
Especially because the cheapest toilet paper in Zimbabwe - the same unpleasant, as these bills.

Here is the real crisis.
