“We said that month-on-month inflation is going to be stabilising and going to be dropping, that’s what has been been happening.”

Year-on-year inflation remains high, “but that’s expected, that happens when you liberalise a currency”, Ncube said on Wednesday in an interview with Bloomberg TV at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The country’s statistics agency suspended publishing year-on-year inflation data after June, when monthly inflation peaked at 39.3%. It still releases the consumer price index , which shows annual costs rose 521% in December, the most since a hyperinflation episode in 2009.
