Zimbabwe's inflation drop: Fluke or for real?

Zimbabwe's inflation has slowed sharply after years of runaway price rises that wiped out savings and battered the economy. Authorities say tighter monetary controls and the introduction of the gold-backed ZiG currency are restoring stability. But many economists and ordinary Zimbabweans remain cautious, warning that past attempts to tame inflation have often been short-lived. The big question now is whether this turnaround marks a real shift in economic management — or just another temporary reprieve.
