BelaPAN reminds, Zimbabwe remains one of the poorest states in the world. Hyperinflation caused abolition of the national currency (the biggest banknote had a nominal value of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars) and introduction of the US dollar. President Robert Mugabe, who turned 92 on February 21, has been permanently ruling the country since 1980.
