Zimbabwe Economy:

At present, Zimbabwe has one of the poorest performing economies in the world. Inflation has reached triple digits forcing the government to revalue the country’s currency in June 2006. Agriculture which was once a key sector has almost disintegrated following the eviction of white farmers by the Mugabe government. Many Zimbabweans especially in rural areas now rely on relief food aid for survival.

Tourism is another key industry that has struggled in recent years with many visitors to the region preferring alternative destinations such as Zambia and South Africa. The national airline “Air Zimbabwe” has experienced financial losses and a significant drop in passenger numbers.
