According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT), an average family of six now needs a minimum of ZWL$5.4 million to cover their monthly expenses. This represents a 65.8% increase compared to the figures recorded last month.
ZIMSTAT also revealed that the Total Consumption Poverty Line (TCPL) for one person was ZW$ 916,225.50 in March 2024. Said ZIMSTAT:
<blockquote>
This means that an individual required that much to purchase both non-food and food items as of March 2024 in order not to be deemed poor.
This represents an increase of 65.8 per cent when compared to the February 2024 figure of ZWL$552,745.80.
</blockquote>
The Food Poverty Line (FPL) for one person in March 2024 was ZWL$701,236.89. This means that the minimum needs basket cost that much per person in March 2024. This represents an increase of 62.2 per cent over the February 2024 figure of ZWL$432,454.90.
The Zimbabwe dollar has plummeted over the past few weeks which economic commentators have blamed on the excessive printing of money by the central bank that is not backed by value.
On Friday, March 22, the Zimbabwean dollar crossed a notable threshold, falling below 20,000 against the US dollar. This decline occurred after it had previously dropped below the 10,000 level in late January.
The local currency was trading at 20,389 per greenback, indicating a cumulative decline of 70% since the beginning of the year.
Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister, Mthuli Ncube, recently Zimbabwe will always have a local currency even though currently, the US dollar is used for 80% of all commerce in the country.
Ncube said the monetary policy statement (MPS), which is overdue by two months, will be released soon, adding that there are ongoing consultations with experts within the government and other stakeholders.

Zimbabwean Family Of Six Now Requires $5.4 Million Per Month

Consumers in Zimbabwe are feeling the strain of the tightening cost of living. A family of six now requires ZWL$8.1 million, up from ZWL$6.2 million in January this year.
This increase comes at a time when the cost of basic goods has skyrocketed, rendering them unaffordable for many Zimbabweans.
Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ), spokesperson Phillimon Chereni told <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/cost-of-living-squeezes-consumers/">Business Times</a> that the low-income urban earner monthly basket for a family of six has moved up by 30 per cent and is now at ZWL$8.1 million in the local currency. Said Chereni:
<blockquote>
The CCZ’s low-income urban earner monthly basket for a family of six moved up by 30% and is at ZWL$8.1m  in the local currency, up from ZWL$6.2m recorded for January 2024. While in United States dollars there was a 1% decrease to US$544 from US$551. This decrease is attributed to the discounts that some shops are giving consumers discounts if they buy using the United States dollars.
</blockquote>
Trade unionists and economists, speaking to the Business Times, asserted that the surge in prices denominated in Zimbabwe dollars stems from the market’s refusal to accept the local currency.
President of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union Florence Taruvinga said salaries are being paid in Zimbabwean dollars whilst goods and services are priced in US dollars. She said:
<blockquote>
Workers continue to be paid in Zimbabwe dollars which they then use to buy the elusive American dollars. In real terms, this has seen real wages depreciating in any economy that has dollarised.
The goods and services which shops are reducing prices are only a decoy as loss and pretence, basic goods and services remain expensive and out of reach for my constituency.
Employers and businesses have realised that the only best foot forward if they want to remain afloat is to charge for services and commodities in United States of America dollars.
However, for my labour constituency, the dollarisation of the economy comes as a double-edged sword.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Congress of Public Sector Trade Unions secretary-general David Dzatsunga said:
<blockquote>
This is a catastrophic escalation of the ever-widening income and cost of living gap and if wages remain where they are, there is going to be total incapacitation with dire consequences for the nation in terms of service delivery.
</blockquote>
Vince Musewe, an economist, said employees earning local currency have become poorer as they are failing to meet life requirements.
Musewe said workers must earn extra income somewhere else, adding that “things will not get better until we dollarise the economy”.

Rising Cost Of Living Weighs Heavily On Zimbabweans

The Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) says a low-income urban family of six now needs just over $1 million a month to survive, up from $611 275 in April.
CCZ director Rosemary Mpofu said the cost of living rose by 62% between April and May in Zimbabwe dollar terms.
However, during the same period, the prices of goods and services in United States dollars went down by 31.4 %. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200012536/family-basket-shoots-to-1m">She said:</a>
<blockquote>
The Consumer Council of Zimbabwe low-income urban earner monthly basket for a family of six stands currently at $1 015 962,61.
This is a sharp increase because the basket has shot from the month of April, where it was $611 275.
When we look at the basket as we measure it, we find out that the low-income earner is mainly earning in the Zimbabwean dollar.
But the cost of living has really increased from the April figure to the May figure and it has constituted a percentage increase of 62.2%.
The new analysis that we use in US$ has decreased by 31.4% so prices have increased in Zimbabwe dollar terms and yet in US$ have decreased by 31.4%.
</blockquote>
The astronomical rise in the cost of living follows a sharp fall in the value of the Zimbabwe dollar over the past few weeks.
Last month, the Zimbabwe dollar fell by nearly 60% on the official market.
On Tuesday this week, the local currency fell from US$1: ZWL$2 577 set by the central bank on 30 May 2023 to ZWL$3 673.
The latest statistics by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) indicate that the annual inflation rose by 11.3 percentage points from April to 86.5% in May.
However, Steve Hanke, a professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, argues that Zimbabwe’s inflation is at 717%.

Family Basket Jumps To $1 Million Per Month - CCZ

The cost of living in Zimbabwe has gone up following a sharp rise in prices of nearly all basic grocery items this week.
Last week, the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) announced that annual inflation slowed to 87.6% in March from 92.3% in February this year.
However, the Zimbabwe dollar continues to lose value against all major currencies at both the official and parallel markets.
On the RBZ auction system this week, the Zimbabwe dollar plunged to ZWL$944.71:US$1 from ZWL$671: US$1 in January this year.
According to <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/zimdollar-hits-new-low/">Business Times</a>, on the parallel market, the Zimbabwe dollar was this week trading between ZWL$1 600:US$1 and ZWL$1 700:US$1.
In an interview with Business Times on Wednesday, Consumer Council of Zimbabwe executive director Rosemary Mpofu said the cost of living has gone up. She said:
<blockquote>
The cost of living as measured by the CCZ’s low-income urban earner monthly basket for a family of six increased ZWL$489 831 by end of March from a figure of ZWL$441 036 by the end of February, showing an increase of ZWL$48 795.
The reasons for the increase varied from localised high inflationary pressures, exchange rate volatility, and external factors.
Even with smaller-denominated gold coins, trying to curb inflation amid a slump in the country’s currency, we still noticed a huge change in prices.
We see a lot of activity on the parallel market exchange rate which was a major factor in driving inflation.
In terms of the US$ basket, we also noticed a huge change as the basket moved to US$478.82 from US$507.67.
This was a huge increase and it is not good for the consumers.
</blockquote>
A survey by Business Times this week shows that the prices of basic grocery items have gone up:
<ul>
<li>2-litre bottle of cooking oil – from ZWL$3 649.99 to ZWL$4 749.99.</li>
<li>2 litre Mazoe drink – from ZWL$3 600 last week to ZWL$4 149.99</li>
<li>white bread – from ZWL$989 to ZWL$1 399.99</li>
<li>a kilogramme of beef – from ZWL$4132.99 last week to ZWL$6 899.99</li>
</ul>
