Zimbabwe Food & Drink Report 2015 - New Market Study Published

The Zimbabwean economy will remain near deflationary territory over the coming quarters thanks to weak demand, a depreciating South African rand and low oil prices. The Zimbabwean economy continues to flirt with deflationary territory with the latest data showing that inflation was 0.1% year-on-year in September 2014. Underpinning low price growth is subdued domestic demand, a weak South African rand relative to the US dollar and the decline in international oil prices witnessed over recent months. There is little reason to believe that any of these factors will meaningfully reverse over the coming months and we therefore think that annual inflation will remain at around zero into 2015.
