Well beyond Alan Greenspan, it's Scwhinn city Ned.
Zimbabwe's inflation hits 585.8% Zimbabwe's year-on-year inflation rose to 585.8 percent in December from 502.4 percent in November and economists predict that it could even surpass the 1 000 percent mark by mid-2006. The Central Statistical Office (CSO), which released the figures yesterday, said the sharp increase in the inflation rate was fuelled by higher prices for medicines and bicycles, among other things. Due to endemic fuel shortages, many Zimbabweans have resorted to walking or cycling to work, causing a sharp rise in demand for bicycles. Balance at link. Cheers, Besoeker.
