Zimbabwe’s Economy Finally on the Rebound

Zimbabwe's central bank says banknotes from its old currency, which collapsed and was discarded years ago because of runaway inflation, can be exchanged for American dollars. But 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars will fetch only 40 U.S. cents. That's a fraction of what collectors have been paying for the notes with numerous zeroes for years.

When Blacks took over Rhodesia, all the racists were like “they’ll never succeed!”

Well. The Blacks showed them.

Bloomberg:

A new currency printed by Zimbabwe’s central bank to ease a cash shortage has drawn scorn from critics attacking it as signaling a return to the hated local dollar, abandoned seven years ago as inflation spiraled to 500 billion percent.

The central bank will distribute units with face values ranging from two to 20 dollars, pegged to the U.S. currency, Governor John Mangudya said Wednesday, describing them as “bond notes” that add to bond coins already in circulation. Banks have limited cash withdrawals and shut down some ATMs in Zimbabwe, where residents use a mix of currencies including the greenback, yuan and South African rand. Mangudya didn’t specify how the value of the notes would be guaranteed.

“It’s zombie money, made from nothing,” said Fredmore Kupirwa, who sells sodas, canned food and corn meal from his shop in Mvurwi, a town north of the capital, Harare. Kupirwa said he needs to pay some cross-border suppliers in dollars. “I must pay them in dollars, but if my customers are paying me in this stupid currency, how can I re-stock?”

The central bank will also convert 40 percent of all bank deposits resulting from exports to rand, and a further 10 percent to euros, Mangudya said. Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti, who now heads the MDC-Renewal opposition party, said Zimbabweans would reject the new currency.

National Disaster

“It’s a cynical, disrespectful and contemptuous move that has no logic,” Biti said. “It’s the return of the Zimbabwe dollar, marking a gross admission that the regime has failed and will drag everyone down into the abyss.”

The start of state-sanctioned seizures of white-owned commercial farms in 2000 by black subsistence farmers deprived of land during colonial rule slashed exports of crops ranging from tobacco to roses, triggering a near decade-long recession. That caused hyperinflation and the introduction of currencies including the dollar as legal tender. As the dollar strengthened against currencies like the South African rand, imports became cheaper, causing plants in Zimbabwe to shut down and half local production.

The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change predicted Thursday that the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front party would end its multi-currency system before the year is over. “Faced with this crisis, the government is likely going to completely de-dollarize by December 2016,” it said in a statement. “This will plunge Zimbabwe back into the era of hyperinflation.”

They did it and they did it on their own – no assistance from the White man.

Because as soon as Whites walk away from Blacks and stop oppressing them, they flourish. Detroit is another serious example – at 90% Black, it is now hands-down the richest and most prosperous city in North America.

Maybe now the racists will finally admit that Blacks are just as capable as any other race of developing a prosperous economy.

Ah, but I doubt it.

Because racism has nothing to do with logic. It is just about relishing in hatred for no reason.
