_The price of commodities is a result of the interaction between supply and market demand. Price increases can be best described under two scenarios: when there is a surge in demand and if there is undersupply of commodities._

_In the Zimbabwean case, we discover that there is what we call pull-demand; there is a lot of liquidity in the market chasing too few goods._

_This is because, since January, some companies have been adjusting their employees’ salaries, which has increased the buying power against disrupted production._
