The weather in Zimbabwe

Due to the drought caused by persistent drought and Zimbabwe's persistent inflation, 90% people in Zimbabwe are now unable to eat. No one can believe that Zimbabwe, once known as the "breadbasket of Africa", now has nearly 90% people without food.

Partly because of the weather. In recent years, the greenhouse effect caused by human industrial activities has led to drought in some areas.

The intensification of El Ni? o phenomenon has led to a more serious drought, and many people have no food security and water security. This is one of the reasons for the current phenomenon in Zimbabwe.

Another more important reason is the inflation in Zimbabwe. How serious is inflation in Zimbabwe? Maybe you can't believe it. Banks in Zimbabwe once issued bank notes worth 100 trillion. 100 trillion sounds a lot, but its actual price is equivalent to the 2.5 yuan money of RMB.

We all know the phenomenon of inflation. The bigger the paper money is issued, the more serious the inflation is, which means that the country is poorer. So how is inflation in Zimbabwe caused?

In the 1980s, Zimbabwe was still a very rich country. His main sources of income are mineral resources and food crops. However, due to the conflict with western countries, western countries have imposed economic sanctions on Zimbabwe for nearly 20 years. As a result, Zimbabwe's economy has fallen sharply.

Due to insufficient foreign exchange reserves, banks have no extra funds, and people's living standards have declined, so the government has no choice but to grant subsidies. The way of subsidy is to print a lot of money. This is why inflation in Zimbabwe is so serious.
