Leon also observed that the depreciation of the Zimbabwe dollar against the United States dollar enhanced high inflation, which reached almost 300% year-over-year in August. He added: > Risks to budget execution are high as demands for further public sector wage increases, quasi-fiscal activities of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe that will need to be absorbed by the central government, and pressure to finance agriculture could push the deficit back into an unsustainable stance. The IMF also observed that socio-economic conditions have deteriorated immensely during the period under review. Leon also observed that the country’s crises were being worsened by the country’s failure to quickly engage the international community.
