Zimbabwe inflation reaches 2,200% (BBC News)

Inflation in Zimbabwe reached a record 2,200% in March amid a deepening economic and political crisis in the southern African country.
Both food and non-food contributed to the year-on-year inflation rate, said central bank Governor Gideon Gono.
The March data had been due for release earlier this month but had been delayed, fanning fears of further crippling price rises.
Mr Gono said secured interest rates would rise to 600%, up from 500%.
He said the Zimbabwean currency would remain at the existing exchange rate of 250 to the US dollar but offered a new rate for central bank purchases of foreign currency to help build a new "drought stabilisation fund".
Exporters claim their businesses have been devastated by this skewed exchange rate. Inflation hit 1,730% in February, the highest in the world.

Chinese investors in share-buying frenzy (FT)

“This is definitely a bubble in the making – for most stocks, positive earnings growth has been priced in until 2009,” said Steven Sun, HSBC equities analyst. “At the height of the last bubble [2000-01], we saw investors opening 2m accounts a month, which is half the current rate.”

“Any money getting into the market now is not smart money and is coming from the kind of people who can least afford to lose it,” said Fraser Howie, author of a book on the Chinese stock markets. “That has to have the government worried about social stability.”
