津巴布韦中央银行将利率保持在35%(非洲最高),以控制通货膨胀预期。 Zimbabwe's central bank has kept interest rates at 35%, the highest in Africa, to control inflation expectations. 这一决定是在9月份津巴布韦新黄金货币贬值40%之后作出的,这最初导致通货膨胀急剧上升。 The decision follows a 40% devaluation of the new Zimbabwe Gold currency in September, which initially led to a sharp rise in inflation. 尽管中央银行做出了努力,经济学家仍然对政府关于2025年降低通货膨胀和经济增长的乐观预测表示怀疑。 Despite the central bank's efforts, economists remain skeptical about the government's optimistic forecasts for lower inflation and economic growth in 2025.
