HARARE - Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister announced the rebasing of the economy on Wednesday, following the adoption of a new currency earlier this year, and said growth would be slowed this year by a drought and a cyclone that hit eastern regions.
Rebasing the economy broadly means changing the reference points used to calculate the country’s gross domestic product. Ncube said the economy had grown by 6.2% in 2018 compared to an initial forecast of 3.1% but he saw growth being throttled this year by “severe economic shocks”, including a drought that has wilted crops and a cyclone that hit western parts of Zimbabwe in March.
How many 'new' currencies have Zim adopted since Zanu PF's crazy anti-developmental policies were fed unto the Zim people?
