Why Hyperinflation Forecasting is Critical in Zimbabwe
Hyperinflation forecasting is crucial in Zimbabwe because it enables policymakers and businesses to anticipate economic instability, allowing for proactive measures to mitigate its devastating effects on savings, prices, and livelihoods. Without accurate predictions, the country risks repeating past crises, further eroding public trust, and hindering long-term recovery efforts.
