Zimbabwe: Hyperinflation & One Hundred Trillion Note

From the term itself we can see that its an inflation which is too difficult to control or it is an inflation which is occurring at very high rate. It is characterized by the general increase of price levels of goods and services at very high rate, say 50% a month. Money becomes almost worthless and it may result in currency collapse and severe economic and social problems.


Normal causes of hyperinflation
Excessive or rapid increase in money supply
Supply shocks often caused by natural calamities and wars.
Rapid depreciation of currency due to other economic factors

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa. The country gained independence form Britain on 18th April 1980. After independence the currency changed to Zimbabwe dollar from Rhodesian dollar at the par value. During the initial years the country experienced a steady upward growth which continued till mid 1990s.


Main causes that led to the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe( 1997-2008).

Although a lot of factors are responsible for the cause of hyperinflation, the three most important ones are :

Supreme Court rules out Section 66A of IT Act

The Section gives the police powers to arrest those who post objectionable content online and provides for a three-year jail term.


The court, however, allowed the government to block websites if their content had the potential to create communal disturbance, social disorder or affect India's relationship with other countries.


The bench said the public's right to know is directly affected by Section 66 A and the Section clearly affects the right to freedom of speech and expression enshrined under the Constitution of India. Further, the court said Section 66 A was unconstitutional because it failed two major tests - the clear and present danger test and the tendency to create public disorder test. The court also found the language used in the Section vague and nebulous saying it doesn't properly define words like 'offensive' or even 'persistent'.
